Janssen Morados - Beyond Kings And Kingdoms: Faithfulness In Obscurity

How do you handle obscurity? King Nebuchadnezzar's reign is over; his son Belshazzar replaced him. Daniel's days of fame in the Babylonian palace are also over (Daniel 5:10–12). When the young king and his lords were feasting, a mysterious hand appeared and wrote on the wall. None of the sages in the kingdom could interpret the writing so Daniel was called in. The writing says that the days of the kingdom are numbered, that king Belshazzar didn’t measure up; and the invading Persians are coming. Even when he was no longer in active public service, Daniel was ready to answer the call and serve when he was needed the most.
