Dominion: The Den

Dominion: The Den As we conclude our series on the first six chapters of Daniel we will reflect on the purpose of these stories. Daniel 6 is a beautiful conclusion to the story of Daniel. It allows us to think about what this story and the preceding five stories are really trying to tell us.

We sigh for some supreme delight   To crown our lives with splendor, And quite ignore our daily store   Of pleasures sweet and tender. Our cares are bold and push their way   Upon our thought and feeling. They hand about us all the day,   Our time from pleasure stealing. So unobtrusive many a joy   We pass by and forget it, But worry strives to own our lives,   And conquers if we let it. There’s not a day in all the year   But holds some hidden pleasure, And looking back, joys oft appear   To brim the past’s wide measure. But blessings are like friends, I hold,   Who love and labor near us. We ought to raise our notes of praise   While living hearts can hear us. Full many a blessing wears the guise   Of worry or of trouble; Far-seeing is the soul, and wise,   Who knows the mask is double. But he who has the faith and strength   To thank his God for sorrow Has found a joy without alloy   To gladden every morrow. We ought to make the moments notes   Of happy, glad Thanksgiving; The hours and days a silent phrase   Of music we are living. And so the theme should swell and grow   As weeks and months pass o’er us, And rise sublime
