  • Summary

  • And now I think with that we're ready for our daily devotional.
    Sometimes it's the only thing we can do with this broken world.
    Right.
    Is just go to God's word.
    Yes.
    And today we are on day four of unshaken on you version.
    Four of ten.
    Infinite is the title today.
    In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, he had dreams.
    The 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 through 3 is where we set the stage.
    King Nebuchadnezzar thought that the task of interpreting an untold dream was too difficult for his gods.
    But Daniel exemplified that nothing is too difficult for our God.
    The God of Daniel still speaks to us through dreams, prophecies and visions.
    He still provides interpretations through scripture and community.
    And we begin to see in these verses that wisdom and revelation are in sync with each other.
    The spirit gives wisdom and provides revelation that allows us to discern what God is doing
    and saying in our everyday lives.
    He reveals deep and hidden things, he says, in Daniel 2, 22.
    Similarly to the prophet Isaiah, who wrote,
    He reveals hidden things we have not known in Isaiah 48, 6.
    And announces new things before they spring into being, Isaiah 42, 9.
    Psalm 51, 6 affirms that God teaches us wisdom in the secret place.
    Let's be challenged by the actions of Daniel and his friends.
    Instead of panicking when their lives were on the line, they petitioned God with prayer.
    They went to the source.
    They cared more about their relationship with God than they did with the end result of how the king would view them.
    They didn't make anything up or compromise their belief in who God is.
    They believed that the God who holds all knowledge also makes, mysteries known.
    Ultimately, it's this quickening of obedience in Daniel's spirit
    that causes him to ask God for the revelation to interpret the dream.
    God hears and honors their obedience and character by revealing the dream.
    Daniel and his friends, possessed character that sustained their calling,
    this chapter teaches us that we cannot devise information,
    but we must possess patience on a heavenly revelation.
    We know God is a revealer.
    He is the source of all wisdom.
    Waiting on a revelation from him enables us to then walk with confidence,
    with the impartation to be obedient.
    To take a step of faith.
    Ultimately, by Daniel's example, we see that the revelation of God,
    coupled with Daniel's quick obedient steps, resulted in a transformation.
    May God's revelation and our obedience change the lives around us
    and strengthen our faith.
    And may it remind us if we just have information,
    then to wait, ask, and seek God to have a revelation.
    Think of a time when you were asked to do more than you could do.
    Lord, we just want to give you the problems that seem to us
    that are infinitely hard, just like in the unfortunate situation of suicide,
    Lord, when others feel hopeless and they feel it's infinitely impossible
    to have any other solution.
    Lord, help us to just give it all to you.
    Help those voices in our head and those voices in the community
    to be positive ones and to encourage us and others
    to be infinitely wise and have infinite patience.
    Lord, we know your promises will forever hold true
    and that you will show up in a big way, in your way.
    We thank you for these challenges because we know you will show up.
    We have that faith in you Lord.
    In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
    Amen.
