Had Daniel been transported to our day, how do I think he would have lived life for his God? Most certainly, it would be no easy thing to move from ox drawn carts; pen, ink, and parchment; robe and sandals; swords and spears, to a suit and tie; slip-on shoes; cars and planes; cell phones; computers; e-books; and atomic weaponry. But to a man of principle, a change in environment doesn't change him. He lived by eternal, unchangeable principles.
The man "greatly beloved of God" would have told our age, with all its advanced learning and tech knowledge, just what he told his own. First, that "there is a God in heaven"; secondly, "that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men; and thirdly, "the people that know their God shall be strong, and do exploits." Notice Daniel spoke to his generation of three personages, God, mankind, and the people of the Lord. This is significant and instructive for us living today.
Lost humanity needs to know a sovereign God is in heaven who is in control of this world and all that is therein and does whatsoever pleases Him. His plan will ultimately come to fruition and finite man will not thwart it. HE IS LORD! On the other hand, His children need to be reminded that by a personal knowledge of this supreme God, who sits in the heavenlies, strength will be imparted to them to accomplish great and mighty things, which they know not. As the old saying goes, "It's not what you know but WHO you know that counts!”
