Words for the soul!!!

As I delve deeper in the story of Daniel, I find that my perspective on God is rapidly changing. Daniel really partnered with God in his ministry and had no doubts about God called him to do. He kept pushing forward and trusting that God would take him where he needed to be, no matter how daunting things became! Today I am focusing on Daniel 2, in this chapter the King had been experiencing disturbing dreams and he sought to find answers to it. He called up on all the wisest men and advisers in the kingdom to bring up interpretations but there was an interesting twist to this. He told them they had to able to tell him what exactly the dream was and what it meant. The people tried to manipulate him into telling them what the dream was about but he stood firm on his stance.

 God always looking for opportunities to bless us in unique ways through our obedience to Him. It is in those moments that we must apply more wisdom, so that the glory of God that is supposed to be manifest through the blessing is not lost.

I appreciate all those who took time to check up on me, God richly bless you! Today, I would like to share this poem with you which comes out of a realization I made in the midst of some challenges. Sometimes the issue of life has a way of unsettling us suddenly and there is really no room to think clearly. We forget everything that we know we are supposed to do as children of God and just fall into unending anxiety.
