Daniel & 3 friends
taken from homeland
learn enemies culture
food
new names
food
They took a stand to honor God
Because when we honor God
God honors us!
There are many who are NOT Christians but who believe in God
many know it in their heads but not in there hearts
live like God doesn’t exist
likeGod is not around
We are fearful, worried, & anxious
but God does not bring a spirit of fear but of sound mind
confident in His power
we end up enduring life rather than enjoying life
like it’s a burden to bear rather than a blessing to enjoy
If we are not careful we can end up acting like there is not a God in heaven
Isaiah talked about that problem that was prevalent in his day, and he wrote this: “We have become like those over whom you have never ruled, like those who were not called by Your name.”
It’s easy to fall into that place but the God of heaven wants to encourage us today
We will be in today
just in this chapter Daniel talks uses the expression God in heaven 5 times
in v.28 he tells the king that there is a God in haven
I hope that today we can allow it to sink into our hearts that there is A GOD IN HEAVEN allow that thought to change our lives
Last week:
Daniel & 3 friends
taken from homeland
learn enemies culture
new names
food
They took a stand to honor God
Because when we honor God
God honors us!
But we see that they have another big problem on their hands
King has specific dream repeatedly
worries him
calls his top guys in to interpret
but worried that they will make something up so he won’t tell them the dream
since they can’t do it the king loses his cool & desideds to kill all the wise men including the junior members
That’s pretty much a bummer
is anyone else in the middle of a bummer
maybe some of you are like Daniel and it’s not even because of anything that you did or didn’t do but just because someone lost their cool
Let’s look at Daniels response and what we can see God doing in his life
1: God knows what you are going through
God knows what you are going through and what is coming in on you
He knew what was happening to Daniel
when we look back to Scripture
they are coming to get Daniel & his 3 friends because they are part of the group called the wise men of Babylon
The captain of the bodyguard of the king comes and says:
come outside
I have a sharp sword
I’m going to hack you into bits because the king’s command is firm
That’s when I start looking for an exit
trip one of my friends and run
You don’t need to be the fastest just can’t be the slowest
But Daniel knew something different
He knew the God in heaven
we need to learn that God was in control
lose your job - God is in control
He is not up there worried about how things will work out
pacing heavens floor
He’s never wandering what He is going to do now
if He could just think up a good idea
sweating bullets
GOD DOESN’T HAVE A PANIC MODE!
God is in control
He has numbered the hairs on your head
it’s not that awesome for me but it’s awesome for you because God knows
He is in charge
He is a very present help in trouble
abundantly available to help you in your problem
big or small
Often though we wander - why would God want to help me?
He is running the universe
BECASUE HE LOVES YOU
He cares about you
There is a God in heaven who knows your problem/situation
2. There is a God in heaven who answers your prayers
Daniel says to the men that are going to kill him that he needs a minute but that he will ask the God of heaven to give him the interpretation
so in
Dan 2:17
God is a God who answers prayers
The Scripture says that God is the One who troubled King Nebby with the dream
he didn’t know the interpretation
God hadn’t revealed it to him
The problem is that Daniel didn’t know the interpretation either
v.17 said that Daniel went into his house and informed his friends
we know that they prayed
& v. 19 Then the mystery was revealed to Daniel
nothing was revealed until he prayed
then he prayed
and it was revealed!
In James it says “ you do not have because you do not ask”
It’s not that you do not have because
God doesn’t have
God is stingy
God doesn’t want to help you
BECASUE YOU DO NOT ASK
If we need to know what to do next… CALL TO GOD
