Blessed Daniel Brottier (1876-1936)
Daniel spent most of his life in the trenches-one way or another. Born in
France in 1876, Daniel was ordained in 1899 and began a teaching career.
That didn't satisfy him long. He wanted to use his zeal for the gospel far
beyond the classroom. He joined the missionary Congregation of the Holy
Spirit, which sent him to Senegal, West Africa. After eight years there, his
health was suffering. He was forced to return to France, where he helped
raise funds for the construction of a new cathedral in Senegal. For more,

Thus says the LORD: This is what I commanded my people: Listen to my voice;
then I will be your God and you shall be my people. Walk in all the ways
that I command you, so that you may prosper. ~ Jeremiah 7:23-28
If I, then, drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own people drive
them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
But if it is by the finger of God that I drive out demons, then the Kingdom
of God has come upon you. ~Luke 11:14-23

God tells us that when we walk in His ways, we will prosper. We need not
think of God's ways as being restrictive. We can appreciate God's way and
His law as freeing and providing for us. We can acknowledge that God is more
powerful than anything, and that Jesus drove out demons by the finger of
God. We can trust in this power and know that the Kingdom of God is upon
us.
.=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=.
I pray that I may see God's ways as being helpful to me, and bringing me
freedom. I can remember that God is more powerful than anything, and that
God can take away my sins. I pray that I may always hope and trust in God.

good day!
