Palm Sunday: Faith in Isolation (Part 4)
When the earthly rulers and powers caused Daniel to be alone, God did not abandon him. God made sure Daniel felt the divine presence and not forsaken. Now more than ever, we need to attune ourselves to see, hear, and experience God, even when our normal means of doing so have been separated from us. When we emerge from our separation and isolation, we shall have stories to share, testimony to give, and glory to celebrate. We can allow this to be a time of rejuvenation, if we have allowed our relationship with our Lord to languish. We can allow this to be a time of reconciliation, if we have wandered through our willful disobedience or wandering away. We can allow this to be a time of preparation for the new day that will dawn when the world seeks to be reunited after our isolation ends. Today, take this time to renew our reliance and relationship with our Maker, our Redeemer, and our Sustainer. May it be so. Associated Scripture: Daniel 6:11-23
