Daniel was a prophet out of place. In another time he would have been serving God in Jerusalem, but in his time, Jerusalem had fallen to the Babylonians and Daniel had been a part of the waves of exile. In Daniel 9, world politics had shifted again, the Persians had taken over from the Babylonians. Now, Daniel served the Persian king. In chapter 9, Daniel’s personal prayer for his
people Israel is recorded and I find it revealing. He did not ask God why they were in exile or why they were suffering, instead, he confessed their sin. Notice that the sin he was confessing was that of his nation and not necessarily his own. A mark of a true prophet is that they are concerned with God’s will in judgment. Daniel was a true leader, and it shows with how he handled himself.

Repentance; Hosea 5-7
The meaning of the word repentance is fascinating. In English it means deep sorrow, compunction, or contrition for a past sin or wrongdoing. Not many of us like the idea of having to approach another with an admission or confession of sin and sorrow over that sin, maybe even less to do so loudly ...
