Reading: Daniel 2
Reflection: God reveals the future to his prophets. His prophets are all those who will follow were he leads. You don’t have to have visions or dreams for God to inspire you with things of the future. Most of the time it’s trough a still, small voice that God talks to us. Contrary to popular beliefs astrologers claims to know the future, but that is not so. They’re revelations do not come from God but from their finite minds which are most of the time controlled by Satan. God alone truly knows the future and He loves you so much that He will tell you all that will be good for you to know.
“Remember the will is the choice; the deciding power.”
