Things That Stood Out In Daniel's

“This is one of the truly great models for prayer in the bible. It may even have set the pattern for the great prayers of Ezra and Nehemiah.” There were a couple of things that stood out in Daniel’s prayer. The first thing that Daniel did that stood out is that he did not start with himself. He begins with worship. He shows passionate concern about the honor of God’s name. He also does not make any attempt to blame others in his prayer, but interceded for his people. “Daniel knew from the previous prophets the prerequisite for the setting up of the Kingdom would be Israel’s confession of her sins. Assuming that the Babylonian captivity would be immediately followed by the Kingdom, Daniel prayed a prayer of confession for Israel’s sin.” …show more content…
One of the things that Daniel did when he approached God was confess the sins of the nation before God. Daniel was a great example of showing believers how to confess to God. It is kind of shocking to see this quality in Daniel, because there was never any evidence in the book to indicate that he displayed any disobedience, yet Daniel confessed sin. Daniel has shown consistently since he was taken to Babylon that prayer was a priority in his life. The bible describes him as a man who had a habit of praying three times a day interceding for his people. Daniel did not brag about his position or success, but when he approached God he did it with humility and reverence.
So confession should be an important part for those who are followers of Jesus. Confession is admitting fully to the guilt of a believer’s sin that God already knows. Believers seem to have a hard time confessing their sins completely to God. It can become painful to confess when one has to recognize their responsibility to change what they are doing and mean it. It is not God's intention that a believer struggle when it comes to confessing their sins to Him, or remain

King Daniel Research Paper

...They, of course could not answer the king and the king sent his captain of the guard to execute all the wisemen in the realm. When Danial first learned of the kings command, he did not panic. Instead he asked why the king had been so hasty. Daniel’s trust was firmly planted in God. He knew that as long as he followed God’s laws, the strongest power in the world could not kill him unless God allowed it. Placing his life in God’s hands, he went before the king to petition some time that he might plead with God to reveal to him the king’s request. God answered the ernest plea of His faithful servant and showed him the same dream as the king had had. As soon as he woke up, Daniel gave thanks to God. Even from the start, he took none of the honor for himself. We would do well to follow his example in this. Daniel was a man of action. As soon as he had finished his thanks giving to God, he immediately sought an audience with the king. “Going immediately to Arioch, whom the king had commanded...

...Year in Employment Fictional case study Case study: ‘Lisa’ Lisa is a newly qualified social worker who has recently joined the Newfield Children with Disability team. Lisa met her line manager, Jules, and her ASYE assessor, Frank, in her first week in the Newfield Children with Disability team. In the meeting they developed a learning agreement for Lisa’s ASYE.

...only is one certain way to live and that is the correct way? I realized that as Meghedi, Ani and I were walking the normal or decent looking shoppers were keeping a good amount of distance, more than usual. Also, the shoppers that had children with them, they were pulling their children towards them in a noticeable way while staring at us. As I walked into the store, being extremely nervous because I was the first one to do this project; completely nervous, not knowing what was to come before me, there were four sales associates. One of the associates stood by the door and greeted each customer as they walked in. When I walked in that girl greeted me but not the same way that she greeted the other customers. Her greeting them was a lot sincerer compared to the way she greeted me. Everyone seemed to be staring at me but when I glanced back at them they would look away to not catch my attention, so they would not help me out, in hopes that I would leave. Finally, after a good few minutes of walking around I went up to one of the sales associates and approached her. I asked the brunette lady if she could assist me with finding an evening gown to wear for an upcoming wedding that I had. The lady took a good look at...

The Dance

...A Moment in Time   As I stood there, I could feel the wet salty water running down my neck. This was sweat, it had been pouring out of my apertures since the song had started. The chorus was soon to be concluded; I was waiting for the fatal lyric that would tell me to begin. It felt like hours, but then at last it came; the thing I so eagerly awaited, "We will, we will rock you!" Finally it had come; at last the anxiety for the past two months was over. I was ready for it and so I sprang like a cheetah at his prey, and so it began. It had all started two months ago on a black dreary week. I had been having a horrendous day that Friday, but then it happened. We had been working on “We Will Rock You” that morning. As we progressed through learning all the steps, the pounding of the music came to the guitar solo. The choreographer stopped the music to ask me and Daniel Hinkson to do gymnastic tricks while the guitar solo came about. Speechless, as I was, is all that I can say to describe how I felt at that moment. Even though I was extremely flabbergasted, my mind was going five millions miles per hour thinking; What to do? How to do it? As I asked myself these questions, the plan came to my mind of presenting the front flip for everyone to gasp over. I came to Daniel with the idea and he was extraordinarily astonished about it. So now that we had our main attraction presumably completed, we were ready to fill the other thirty-five seconds of the solo with other exclusive...

...Training Programme In this assessment I am going to carry out some tests on Daniel Matthew to improve his aerobic endurance and resistance. I am going to do this by carrying out a series of tests, exercises and drills that are related to football. Daniel will be taking part in aerobic and resistance training. Aerobic training is endurance training, which is a term that refers to any low-intensity and long duration activities such as running. Aerobic training can help him in football as it will improve his cardiovascular fitness, the long term effects will be hypertrophy in the heart that will allow his heart to pump more oxygenated blood to muscles in need. The acute effects are that your heart pumps more to supply muscles with oxygen and your breathing rate will increase. Resistance is to develop muscular strength and endurance. Resistance training will help a footballer as it will allow them to be stronger in tackles such as shoulder barges. The muscular endurance training will allow them to last the duration of a football match and also have a higher work rate during games. During my six week training programme I will focus on both energy systems: Anaerobic – Lactic Acid System This means that there isn’t enough oxygen in your body due to the short duration of the actions you have carried out can’t create enough oxygen, this would be with activities that last less than about 90 seconds and require power e.g. weightlifting. Aerobic This system needs oxygen,...

Summary and Review of Select Books of the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha

...Edras starts with Ezra receiving a prophetic call from God. He explains that God is upset with Israel because as time goes on, they keep on sinning. He continues and says that they are going to be driven out of their land and that there will be a people coming from the East (1:38). His prophecy ends with God saying that he will judge Israel and protect the church that is to come. Then there is a cut and we jump into Ezra’s discussions with the angel Uriel, and he his three visions. Ezra talks about two main things, the first being his struggle with sin and how God is disappointed with Israel. The next big topic is Ezra’s visions about things to come and the end times. Ezra struggles to grasp God’s decisions and actions and Uriel makes it clear that man cannot comprehend God’s actions. The last two chapters of the book talk about God’s judgment on people and cities that oppose him, such as Babylon. From here, the writer encourages believers to stay strong for there is much persecution to come. Date and Evaluation: Many scholars believe that 2 Esdras wasn’t written by Ezra or during the time he was alive, but rather the book was written by Christians in the first and second century A.D. After reading through this book I understand that the author has many questions about why things are what they are. We read over and over again that “Ezra” is disturbed by questions about God’s chosen people and sin. More than this, I see that Ezra really respects God and wants to follow Him in every...

Revelation 13

...chapter 13, Chapter 13 Scripture Begins Here Revelation chapter 13 begins with a beast (the Antichrist) raising up out of the sea which represents the nations of the world. The beast is the Antichrist or the false messiah. He will be the final world ruler, also known as the little horn in the book of Daniel, chapter 7, v.8. "I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn [were] eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things." Antichrist Things during the end times will be chaotic. A time of confusion and uncertainty will cause the people to desperately look for a strong leader that could bring hope and security in a time of fear and apprehension. People will desperately seek a strong, charismatic, authoritative leader who can pull the world back from the very brink of disaster. Those people will get their wish as a powerful, charismatic leader spouting peace and unity comes on the scene. But he will turn out to be much more than they bargained for. He will be a dictator whose cruelty will be more than any other the world has ever known. This man will be the Antichrist as he will rule the entire world and receive its worship. Chapter 13 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy...

Everyone I dated made me a little cold in the heart. The more they got serious about me, the more I became cold to them. Also, we both like cats. We both are near-sighted. We both love to read. (But I’m not an editor-in-chief like he is.) And we both are still in love with someone after high school. Okay. Maybe I am a lot like Takano. But just not only in personality. I lay on the couch with my cat lying on my stomach and was purring away. I was petting her gently as possible while I was reading the Sekai-ichi Hatuskoi manga. This volume was back on Ritsu’s point of view. The last one was on Takano’s. He was explaining everything that happens between him and Ritsu. He was really mean to Ritsu then, but I like it how he slowly began to fall for Ritsu’s loving smile. Or was it just him in general? I closed the book and remember the page I was on. It’s been so long since I read the series. I took off my glasses and pinch the bridge of my nose then rubbing my eyes.

Patriarchal Oppression and Cultural Discrimination in Jane Eyre and Wide Sargasso Sea

...Patriarchal Oppression and Cultural Discrimination in Jane Eyre and Wide Sargasso Sea “In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different” (Coco Chanel) “We may have all come in different ships but we’re in the same boat now” (Martin Luther King, Jr.) “Share our similarities, celebrate our differences” (Morgan Scott Peck) These quotations, which were uttered in the 20th century, have in common that to be different is regarded not only as tolerable but also as something that should be pursued. Also, they reflect the process of increasing tolerance towards females and foreigners, which in many countries has taken place during the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century, with the result that, today, these two groups are widely, although by far not entirely, regarded as equal. However, only two centuries ago, people who were different or ‘other’ were considered subordinate or even frightening, and in the 19th century, this was true for both females and people from the orient or colonized people (Barry 134, 193). In Jane Eyre (JE), published in 1847, and in Wide Sargasso Sea (WSS), the prequel or paraquel of JE that was written about one hundred years later and published in 1966, the two female protagonists, Jane, a female orphan, and Antoinette, a female Creole, struggle against displacement and patriarchal oppression and, in Antoinette’s case, also against imperialistic domination. In JE, the reader learns that Jane can handle this pressure whereas Antoinette/Bertha1...

...Supernatural: The Life of William Branham Book 6: The Prophet and His Revelation 1960 – 1965 by Owen Jorgensen 1 Acknowledgments: In a project of this magnitude, it is understandable that I should owe many people a debt of gratitude for their help. First of all I want to thank Pearry Green for his vision, his encouragement and his efforts in publishing and distributing these books. I also want to thank Saundra Miles, David Buckley, Jay Weber, and the other people who spent many hours editing and proof reading the six manuscripts in this series. Their suggestions helped to make this a better book and a more accurate account of William Branham‘s life. Also, I want to thank Steven and Kathy Strooh, who put these books into audio format for all those people who would rather listen than read. I must certainly thank those people who have translated these books into their native languages: Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Russian, Norwegian, Hindi, and many other languages. Supernatural: the Life of William Branham took me 17 years to complete. I was 34 when I started and 51 when I finished. To put that into perspective, my four children were in grade school when I began writing this biography. By the time I finished, three of my children were married and I had nine grandchildren. During the 17 years I worked on this project, my life had its ups and downs. I want to thank everyone who prayed for me during those 17 years. Finally I want to thank my four children—Benaiah...
