Daniel 2:27-28 - What To Do When Things Get Difficult.

Daniel 2:27-28 (NLT) There are no wise 
men, enchanters, magicians, or fortune-tellers 
who can reveal the kings secret. But there is 
a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he 
has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen 
in the future. Now I will tell you your dream 
and the visions you saw as you lay on your 
bed. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   Over the last few days in these 
devotionals, Ive shown you what Daniel did when facing 
an impossible situation in Daniel 2. The king 
had asked him to interpret a tough dream. It 
almost got the kings wise men killed because 
they couldnt explain what the dream meant. 
   The stakes were high! But Daniel followed 
a terrific process that can help us, too: 
DONT PANIC, AND THEN GET THE FACTS. ASK FOR MORE 
TIME. GATHER PRAYER PARTNERS. ASK GOD FOR 
SUPERNATURAL HELP. WORSHIP GOD. And, USE WHAT YOUVE 
LEARNED TO SAVE OTHERS.  
   We also see that when God showed up, 
Daniel USED THE OPPORTUNITY TO POINT OTHERS TO GOD. 
 
   The Bible says Daniel told the king, 
There are no wise men, enchanters, magicians, or 
fortune-tellers who can reveal the kings secret. But 
there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and 
he has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will 
happen in the future. Now I will tell you your 
dream and the visions you saw as you lay on your 
bed (Daniel 2:27-28 NLT). 
   Daniel didnt take credit for the 
amazing answer to the kings dream. He knew God 
had given him the answer. So he was honest about 
that.  
   I dont know about you, but if I were a 
17-year-old boy and I did something to make the king 
happy, Id be tempted to take a bit of the 
credit. Daniel did the praying. He did the 
listening. He did the obeying. 
   Couldnt he have taken some credit? He 
could have, but he didnt. Instead he pointed 
people to God.  
   Do that, and God will bless you. God will 
do great things through a person who doesnt 
care who gets the credit. 
   God wants you to do that in every 
situation of your life"whether youre in a coffee 
shop, in a meeting, or at home parenting a 
3-year-old. He wants you to point others to him.  
   The Bible says the pagan king told 
Daniel, Truly, your God is the greatest of gods, 
the Lord over kings, a revealer of mysteries, 
for you have been able to reveal this secret 
(Daniel 2:47 NLT). 
   How about that? A pagan leader 
acknowledged the true Creator of the universe. 
   When you spend your life pointing people 
to God, miracles happen. [Daily Devotional by
