Daniel 7
ANXIOUS ABOUT END TIMES?
The signs of the times we see around us can be really alarming. Climate change, world leaders who seem to be loose cannons and completely unpredictable, the rise of radical Islam, terrorism, persecution of Christians, wars, the advance of liberal humanism shown in sexual preferences, lack of commitment, tolerance, and ‘free speech’ or the lack of it, can all set us on edge. A lot of people get very anxious about what is coming and the way the world seems to be headed.
When Daniel was shown visions of the end times, maybe our times or beyond, he too became anxious and alarmed. Listen to what he says, “As for me, Daniel, my spirit within me was anxious, and the visions of my head alarmed me.” (Daniel 7 v 15 ESV).
So what did Daniel do about it? Did he just continue to worry? No. Daniel did something productive: “I approached one of those who stood there and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of the things.” (v 16).
Don’t just worry about it. When we are anxious and afraid of what is going on, let’s ask God to help us understand and to give us peace. We won’t get any peace by worrying or being anxious, but we will get peace when we take our worries to God.
May the grace peace of God rest on us this week.
With love in our Lord,
Robert.

Thinky Days 2025 Coming Soon
Don’t miss out on your Daily Meditation Diary with Thinky Things for 2025! They will be available in the next few weeks, God willing.
Jam packed with space to write your own favourite verses, prayers, meditations, or even to-do lists with a full page for every day of the year. But it also includes a Thinky Thing for each Sunday, daily readings for each day and a meditation verse on every page.
Thinky Days 2025 is a new and improved version based on the feedback we received from last year’s diary. It will be a bit smaller than last year (A5 size) and spiral bound, which should suit us all a lot better.
They were really popular last year and we completely sold out. So get in early and be first in line for your Thinky Days 2025.
Leave your details at https://bit.ly/ThinkyDaysOrder to be the first to know when they are ready.
