We continue with our meditations in The Book of Daniel, as we continue to dig deeper into verse 13 of Chapter 10. It reads,
"But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia."Well, Elijah missed out on Jezebel in the equation of things. He thought he had all his bases covered, but lo and behold, he didn't. Moses thought he had all covered, but lo and behold, he missed out on the reality of Pharaoh, Egypt, and God's timing.
What or which "Jezebel" are you missing out on? Are you walking in faith or presumption? God always supports faith, not presumption. Just because you carry the ark of covenant does not mean God will avail for you, if you miss out on the "Jezebel."
God has nothing to lose by the capture of the Ark of the Covenant. [1 Samuel 4] The Ark of the Covenant is not God. It is a MERE symbolism that derives its power from the rightness and accuracy of the people in alignment with God's story and lays down dictate.
"Ichabod!" (The glory has departed.) Who lost? God or the people? Whose story paused? God or the people? It does not fail to amaze me the foolishness of those who suppose they can hand-twist God. What he asked that we command Him concerning are His promises, [Isaiah 43:26, 45:11] not our threats.
God will not answer your prayer because His glory is at stake. It never is. God is not limited by ANYONE of His creation or creature. When we expire, God has not even started yet. We are not the ones giving Him space. He is the one giving us space.
This is what God means when He says, "He gives grace to the human, and stands in the way of the proud." [James 4:6-8] We are the sheep of His pasture, not the reverse. [Psalm 100:3]
The Saint.
