Obedience And Direction

Blessed be the name of God forever… He gives wisdom to the wise and… reveals deep and secret things. Daniel 2:20-22

Are you willing to do whatever God tells you to do? Are you prepared to trust Him—even when His direction doesn’t make sense? Be assured, if you do, He will reveal astounding truths to you.

The Lord certainly did for Daniel. Cruel Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar demanded that his counselors interpret a dream he’d had, but he then refused to disclosed the contents of it. He threatened that if they couldn’t give him understanding into his vision, he’d have them all killed (Daniel 2). Their situation seemed helpless.

Yet the godly Hebrew named Daniel told Nebuchadnezzar, “There is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries” (v.28). Daniel described the dream and revealed its meaning faultlessly—all to God’s glory.

Do you need wisdom for a no-win situation like Daniel did? Then take the step of faith, obeying however God directs and trusting Him even when you don’t understand how  He’s moving. You’ll be astounded at what He reveals when you put complete trust in Him.

Lord, You know my dilemma. Disclose what I need to know and lead me successfully through this difficulty, amen.

In His presence… obey His direction with confidence.
