Daniel 2

What is amazing about Daniel's situation is that he never complains. He never asks why. He doesn't get upset that he is living in captivity. He simply lives a life of obedience while living in Babylon. In the moment when he really needs God, in dealing with the dream, he speaks words of praise about God to the king. He lives with a confidence in God that is not based on the circumstances that he sees around him, but out of a deep relationship with God.

  1. What spoke to me most in Daniel 1 and 2 is how Daniel never tried to take credit for the interpretation of the king's dream. Instead, he gave all glory to God! Isn't that a model for the way we should live?? It reminds me of the verse in Micah about what God requires of us, "...do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with your God."
