As we continue our series on Daniel, we are introduced to a new king, Belshazzar who in his arrogance finds himself judged by the living God who holds the king's life in his hands. We also find ourselves in the hands of the living God, and though we are weighed and found wanting, we can rest safely in God's hands because of Jesus.

WE continue in our series in the book of Daniel, and we hear now from Nebuchadnezza as he recounts his personal experience of the wonders that the Most High God has done for him. As God humbles and then restores Nebuchadnezza, we see God as the King of Kings who is rich in mercy, breaking through our pride that we might know him as our King.

Today in Daniel 3, the focus is on Daniel's three friends who take a stand to worship God rather than giving into the pressure to give their allegiance to Babylon. We see that God is present with his people in Babylon, and that he is powerful to save people who cannot save themselves.

As we continue in the book of Daniel, we see the great king of Babylon unsettled by dreams. Babylon's wise men are unable to reveal the dream and its meanings, but the God whom Daniel knows can. We see that the God of heaven is the only God who speaks, and his is the only Kingdom which will endure forever.

Today we begin a new series in the book of Daniel. Daniel lived at a time when circumstances big and small challenged his faith in God. As we see how God was with Daniel, guiding him and enabling him to be faithful, we are comforted and encouraged as we are likewise called to be faithful today.

Last week we saw how through the Spirit, we become children of God. But how do the children of God live in a world of Sin and suffering? Our passage this week says that present suffering will not last, but that through the Holy Spirit we can endure with hopeful longing for our future glory.

Over the next couple of weeks, we'll be returning to the book of Romans. Today we look at the first part of Romans 8, where we see how the Holy Spirit helps us fight sin and assures us of the wonderful privilege of being God's children.

Today we will reflect on Psalm 90 which contrasts the eternal God with frailty of humanity. Yet, we can be thankful that because of God's grace shown to us in Jesus, the eternal one came to give us an eternal home and to satisfy us with his unfailing love.

Today we finish our series in the Lord's Prayer as we consider the final petition, asking our Father to lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. As we live now as God's children temptations will come, so we are to pray and seek God's help for protection and deliverance.

Today, we continue our series looking at the prayer Jesus taught his disciples to pray, the Lord's Prayer. We are considering the meaning of each line of the Lord's Prayer, and today we consider what it means for us to pray "Father, forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors."
