Letting Ourselves Be Carried Away

Reading of the deliverance of Daniel, you might wonder how Habacuck felt about this whole thing.  To him, it may have seemed the least bit dumb.  Maybe he thought there were better or more important things to be done, that his role in the drama might have been omitted in favor of something a bit more practical, something more in line with his dignity.  Perhaps he wondered why the angel hadn't grabbed someone else.  Surely there must have been a closer bowl of stew.

But that is not how God works.  He sometimes wants what is silly or looks so foolish.  Sometimes he asks what is unimportant or inconvenient, what we really don't want to do.  Yet, we have few alternatives.  Like Habacuch, we have to let ourselves be carried away.
