ASLC Devotions - Wednesday

Daniel 2:48 Then the king promoted Daniel, gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon and chief prefect over all the wise men of Babylon.

Remember yesterday's message? Remember King Nebuchadnezzar and his crazy dream that nobody could interpret? And Daniel was able to explain it to the king. Well, the king was grateful. He not only cancelled his threat to kill all the prophets and wise men in the kingdom, he picked out Daniel for special favor.

Daniel got a promotion and, in the passage that follows, got a special promotion for his friends and fellow Jews Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. You may remember some other stories about Daniel and about those three friends. They got themselves in the position to save their people, to affect history, because Daniel correctly interpreted this dream. They got into that position because of God's help. God has put you in a certain position. Why, do you think? For what purpose are you where you are in your life?

In Christ,
Pastor Seth
