Responding to Troubles

The Unfaithful Response

First he sought counsel

These were the wisemen of the day

He asked the wrong people

He rejected there response

He blamed his advisors

The Faithful Response

Sometimes we need to act before God answers

Before God revealed the dream to Daniel, he requests the chance to answer the king

Daniel trusted that God would help, before God did help

Daniel sought prayer

He turned to his friends to spend time in prayer

James: The fervent prayer of the righteous is effective

He glorified God for his response
