Daniel: A Strong Man Is Faithful

DAY 3 OF 5

Faithful In Your Impossible Situation

What impossible situation do you need to bring to God today?

In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; his spirit was troubled, and his sleep left him. Then the king commanded that the magicians, the enchanters, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans be summoned to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king. And the king said to them, "I had a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream." — Daniel 2:1-3

I don't know about you, but there have been seasons of my life that have been troubled by my dreams. They tend to happen when my anxiety is high, and they are vivid and memorable, which is Nebuchadnezzar's experience here. He had a very vivid dream, which troubled his spirit and even prevented him from finding sleep.

Yet, in the case of Nebuchadnezzar, we know that God gave him these dreams. God troubled him with ideas and images that were so vivid he knew there was a meaning behind them. So, what he wants from his seers is the meaning of the dream. But not just that. He wants them to tell him the details of a dream he has not told, which is a pretty impossible order.

Have you ever been in a situation where someone has projected their anxiety onto you, demanding your help with an impossible task?

I hate to say it, but I encounter this situation every day.

Every day, I talk to some man who finds themselves in an impossible predicament. They come to me with problems I cannot solve. Marriages in a mess. Careers in chaos. Families in ruin. Addictions that overwhelm them. And guess what? I feel the weight of these projected anxieties. More than anything, I would love to remove their anxiety and repair the situation so they can find sleep and peace again. But I can't.

But there is one thing I can do—and it’s something we can all do. We can ask a God who does impossible things to make what is impossible for us possible.

In Matthew 19:26, Jesus said: "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

If, at this moment, like Daniel, you are standing before an impossible situation, stop fretting about it and ask God to intervene. There is nothing impossible for him. Have faith. Be faithful. Trust in a faithful God.

God, today, make what is impossible for me possible. I acknowledge you are able, and I am unable. In Jesus’s name, amen.
