Daniel: God Reveals Mysteries and Authors Wisdom; God’s Wisdom vs. Babylonian Wisdom
As we’ve opened the book of Daniel, our prayer is that God will open the book of Daniel to us. Written long ago to God’s people in exile in Babylon, we get a glimpse into God’s working in and through Daniel, Hananiah, Misheal, and Azariah. Already, we’ve seen God at work in chapter 1. Now, in chapter 2 we see God at work once again as the King has a dream about kings and kingdoms and asks his servants to not only interpret the dream for him, but 1st, to tell him what his dream was. Naturally, the servants respond by saying, “Impossible.”
Yet Daniel knows God and God is the revealer of mysteries. When asked by King Nebuchadnezzar if he can tell him his dream and interpret it, he says, “I can’t… but there is a God in heaven who can.” After all, God is the author of the impossible.
Sunday, we explore Daniel chapter 2, about a dream, an interpretation, about kings and kingdoms. Can’t wait – see you there, Crestview Church, Boulder, CO.
