When our back is against the wall because of unreasonable demands from those in authority- pray! Daniel prayed and was given the answer to “said unreasonable demand”. He was able to reveal the dream of Nebuchadnezer and interpret it without knowing anything about it!! Daniel was known for his simple faith (at the lion’s den) and his tenacity at pursuing spiritual disciplines (eating vegetables and water vs. rich food and wine from the king’s table). He gave glory to God at His lifesaving revelation. – Teresa #ourgreatGod #isnotblindtoplotsofdarkness #shinesforthwithlight

Daniel 2:19-23 (ESV)

19 Then the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. 20 Daniel answered and said:

“Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,

to whom belong wisdom and might.

21

He changes times and seasons;

he removes kings and sets up kings;

he gives wisdom to the wise

and knowledge to those who have understanding;

22

he reveals deep and hidden things;

he knows what is in the darkness,

and the light dwells with him.

23

To you, O God of my fathers,

I give thanks and praise,

for you have given me wisdom and might,

and have now made known to me what we asked of you,

for you have made known to us the king’s matter.”
