—Daniel 9:1-3
by: Linda Harris.
When the exile began, Daniel was a young man. Scholars agree that Daniel was around 80 years old when he read Jeremiah’s words and realized the captivity was nearly over. This prompted him to pray for the Hebrews and the restoration of the nation in Israel.
When you read the Bible, is it merely an exercise or obligation? Or do its words move you to prayer? What can you do to make the scriptures more alive as you read each day?
