Good Morning. Dan. 10:12 says, “Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.” Matthew Henry in his commentary on this text said, “It is natural to fallen man to be afraid of an extraordinary messenger from heaven, as dreading to hear evil tidings thence; but Daniel need not fear, for he has by his three weeks humiliation and supplication sent extraordinary messengers to heaven, which he may expect to return with an olive-branch of peace: From the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand the word of God, which is to be the rule of thy prayers, and to chasten thyself before thy God, that thou mightest put an edge upon thy prayers, thy words were heard, as, before, at the beginning of thy supplication, ch. 9:23. Note, As the entrance of Gods word is enlightening to the upright, so the entrance of their prayers is pleasing to God, Ps. 119:130. From the first day that we begin to look towards God in a way of duty he is ready to meet us in a way of mercy. Thus ready is God to hear prayer. I said, I will confess, and thou forgavest.” Here we are reminded that God will give us the peace which has passeth all understand. I pray that we will continue to allow the Holy Spirit to take full control of us so that we rest peacefully in his arms. He is our peace - https://youtube/watch?v=hrdo7e9JJTY Have a blessed and Holy Spirit-filled day.
