As I watched, this horn was waging war against God’s holy people and was defeating them, 22until the Ancient One—the Most High—came and judged in favor of his holy people. Then the time arrived for the holy people to take over the kingdom.

The army of heaven was restrained from responding to this rebellion. So the daily sacrifice was halted, and truth was overthrown. The horn succeeded in everything it did.

But when his heart and mind were puffed up with arrogance, he was brought down from his royal throne and stripped of his glory.

Lord God my Father,

Give me a Peace beyond my understanding, allow your peace to guide me. Give me faith that doesn’t ask questions, but believes your plan is perfect without question. Allow me to trust in you alone and not be distracted by confusion of this world and keep me from falling into compromise of your Truth.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
