Daniel 6

These kings! Is there no end to their insane decrees? Evidently not, nor is there any end to what God can do to make things work out (Romans 8:28).

2 Peter 3

Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (3:18). The greatest wish we can have for anyone is that they grow in Christ. Obviously, sin strangles growth. We sin in spite of our desire not to, and then we require truckloads of grace, not once or twice but daily. Grace sustains us every moment by Jesus’ promise (2 Corinthians 12:9).

We cannot begin to understand the grace we have; it’s too big. But we can grow in knowledge. We can read His word, receive the Holy Spirit, and grow.

Proverbs 28:21-22

A stingy man hastens after wealth and does not know that poverty awaits him. Stingy people use others to get and hoard money. Sooner or later, they try to get one over on someone more ruthless, and that villain eats their lunch.
