In our current time (Nov 2020), this passage couldn’t be the best reminder of where our faith and hope should be placed, in God. God controls the the course of world events. He removes people in power and replaces them with others. If we place our trust in anything other than God Himself, we will guarantee ourselves one big mess of our thought life and outlook. God is in control. He always has been, and always will be. We have to keep our focus on Him in order to manage our thoughts, emotions, and future hope. It’s that simple, just hard to be consistent doing. Ask Him right now to help you stay focused on the only Thing that doesn’t move or change, God alone.
19 That night the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven. 20 He said, “Praise the name of God forever and ever,for He has all wisdom and power.21 He controls the course of world events;He removes kings and sets up other kings.He gives wisdom to the wiseand knowledge to the scholars.22 He reveals deep and mysterious thingsand knows what lies hidden in darkness,though He is surrounded by light.23 I thank and praise You, God of my ancestors,for You have given me wisdom and strength.You have told me what we asked of Youand revealed to us what the king demanded.”
Daniel 2:19-23
