To truly be born again we have to work on changing our thinking and our actions. Up to this point the story has been focused on changing our thinking, but there is still that physical impulse to engage in our old ways. In this chapter of Daniel the king sees the writing on the wall that his ways must come to an end.

275. It is important to know that there is divine providence and there is also divine foresight. 1 Goodness is what the Lord provides, and evil is what the Lord foresees. Both foresight and providence are necessary, because what comes from us is nothing but evil and what comes from the Lord is nothing but good.
From Secrets of Heaven
Since everything good that the Lord provides us flows in, I need to include in what follows citations from Secrets of Heaven concerning inflow; and since everything that the Lord provides he provides in accordance with the divine design, I need also to cite passages from the same source concerning the divine design.
Notes de bas de page:
1. The Latin words here translated "providence" and "foresight" are providentia and praevidentia-a play on words that is difficult to convey in English. [GFD]
