Fall Has Arrived!

In honor of the first day of the fall season, I thought it was probably time to change my background from its springy/summery theme... I've now run out of time to play with it any more, but I've at least gotten started. :)

I recently started a Beth Moore study on Daniel. Yesterday, there was a challenge to memorize some verses from Daniel chapter 2 - it's Daniel's praise to God for revealing Nebudchenezzer's dream to him. As I was looking it over this morning, I realized that it is very fitting for today, so I just thought I'd post it here on this first day of fall and offer it up as a prayer of my own as we start into my favorite season of the year.

Daniel 2:20-23:

20 "Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
wisdom and power are his.
21 He changes times and seasons;
He sets up kings and deposes them.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.
22 He reveals deep and hidden things;
He knows what lies in darkness,
and light dwells with him.
23 I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers:
You have given me wisdom and power,
you have made known to me what we asked of you,
you have made known to us the dream of the king."

Thank you, Lord, for being so willing to give of Your wisdom and power, for changing the times and the seasons as you see fit, for revealing the deep and hidden things for our benefit, and for being our light in a dark world. Please continue to make known what we have asked of you... and all to your glory. Amen.
