† Rags to Riches † Then the king gave Daniel high honors and many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon and chief prefect over all the wise men of Babylon. Dan. 2:48 ESV Daniel, who was born of royal family, was taken prisoner when Nebuchadnezzar captured Jerusalem in 597 BC. He was taken from his homeland, made a eunuch and a servant in Babylon against his will. But in due time God raised him up to second in command and he was the wisest man in Babylon. Joseph was born his father’s favorite, but then sold into slavery, served time in prison, and then was promoted to second in command to Pharaoh. Moses was raised and educated as Pharaoh’s royal family, then spent forty years tending sheep in the wilderness, but became the most powerful man living on earth. David was anointed by Samuel and then ran from Saul for years before he actually became the king. God has a plan for you. Before it comes to pass though there is a time of proving, pruning, and maturing. To us it often looks like just plain waiting. Do not get discouraged while you are in the wilderness. God is completely faithful and the things that He has spoken to you He will bring to pass. You cannot have a rags to riches story without the rags.
