What does it say?
King Nebuchadnezzar’s disturbing dream led to a death sentence for all Babylon’s wise men. Daniel and his friends sought God, and He revealed the mystery to Daniel.
What does it mean?
The most disturbing situation became an opportunity to seek and glorify God. Daniel, calm and courageous, asked for time to seek God to do what was humanly impossible. He sought his friends and challenged them to pray for God’s mercy. They asked God to do what only He could do: reveal the dream and its meaning. When God revealed the mystery, Daniel expressed gratitude for his intimate knowledge of God and exalted Him openly. Daniel was certainly an impressive man, but the reason was not found within himself but in his relationship with the God of Heaven.
How should I respond?
How do you normally respond when faced with an impossible situation? Do you rely on your own good sense, or is it your habit to seek God and ask friends to pray? You may be blessed with good intellect and sound judgment, but you are not alone or on your own when you face struggles that seem impossible. As you pray and study the Bible, God will direct you with commands, prohibitions, and principles that can be drawn from His Word. Pray. Ask reliable followers of Christ to pray with you; then look to your all-knowing God to direct and work in your difficult circumstances. Determine today to rely on the Lord rather than on your own reasoning.

The book of Daniel chronicles the stories and visions of the exiled prophet during his life in Babylon. Although faced with devastating exile, the characters of Daniel choose to be faithful to God no matter the cost. Daniel’s life and visions remind us that God Himself orders peoples, nations, and history, orchestrating His people’s redemption and His imminent return.
