Daniel 2: The Power of Dreams

As I read Daniel tonight I was amazed at the power of dreams. Maybe not in the traditional sense but in God's ability to take even the scariest moments in life and make them about praising Him. Here is Daniel, in exile in Babylon forced into servitude of a king who literally wants him killed. A king who is so focused on his selfish desire of having his dream interpreted he would actually kill all of the wise men in his kingdom. What does Daniel do? Run scared, no. He asks to speak with the king, prays to God for His help and praises Him for giving him wisdom and power. I'm amazed at the way God took the king's dream and selfish desire to get it interpreted into an opportunity for Daniel to worship and praise God. My prayer tonight is that I remember even in life's scariest moments to seek God for help and relish the opportunity to praise Him.
