Dan 9:14
“Therefore the LORD has kept the calamity in store and brought it on us;
for the LORD our God is righteous with respect to all His deeds which He has done,
but we have not obeyed His voice.

Note the first word - “therefore”.
In light of all that Daniel had just prayed.
In light of the truth of the Word of the Lord.
The Lord had done something.
He had kept “calamity in store”.

“In store”?

Yep.

Why “in store”?
Giving opportunity for repentance?
I suspect so.
But, as opportunity was given for repentance, sin continue to accumulate.

The calamity was forewarned through the prophets.
The Lord spoke.
The Lord warned His people.

The did not listen.
They did not obey His voice.
The Lord brought the “stored up” calamity.

The Lord was…and is…righteous in all He does.
Even in bringing calamity.

He is righteous in respect to all His deeds.
Doubt not.
Question not.
Rest/trust in the Lord!
