Daniel 2:1 In the second year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed such dreams that his spirit was troubled and his sleep left him.
Yesterday we met the three wise men (sometimes referred to as kings) from the east who had a vision and saw a star and came to see the baby Jesus. Today we travel back in time several hundred years to meet another powerful king from the east, Nebuchadnezzar. This king had some terrible dreams. He didn't know what they meant and they kept him from sleeping.
He called all his wise men together to interpret the dream and none could. None but Daniel, the Jewish worshiper of the god we call God. This can be a reminder that wealth and power don't take away problems. Even Nebuchadnezzar had trouble sleeping at night. The only peace comes from God. God revealed the meaning of the dream to Daniel, who shared it with the king, and brought him peace. Peace comes from God.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
