Good morning,
Today we continue our study in the book of Daniel. This week we look at Chapter 2.
Daniel 2
Nebuchadnezzar’s dream
Daniel and friends pray for God’s wisdom (14-18)
14 Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:15 He answered and said to Arioch, the king’s captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.16 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation. 17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:18 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
The task the King asked the Chaldeans to do was impossible. However, Daniel and his friends knew nothing was impossible for God. So they prayed for God’s wisdom. God answered and gave Daniel the dream and the interpretation. He not only saved his own life, but the lives of the Chaldeans, also.
