King Nebuchadnezzar once had a dream that stressed him out big time. He called all his wise men together. “Tell me the dream AND the meaning, or you’re dead!” he yelled. The wise men froze—they had no idea what the king dreamed. They told him: “…There is not a man on earth who can show the king’s matter: …there is no king, lord, nor ruler, who asked such things of any magician, astrologer, or Chaldean. And it is a rare thing that the king requires, and there is none other who can show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh” (Daniel 2:10–11).
The king got furious and ordered all the wise men, including Daniel and his friends, to be executed (Daniel 2:12–13). But Daniel stepped forward and asked for some time. He and his friends prayed that night. God revealed the dream and its meaning to Daniel, who in turn revealed it to the king. Nebuchadnezzar had to agree and proclaim that indeed Daniel had an excellent spirit.
With the Holy Spirit, you won’t have to feel lost about school choices, friendships, plans, or big decisions. The Bible says: “The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and our children forever…” (Deuteronomy 29:29). Think about it: The Holy Spirit can guide your thoughts, inspire your actions, and help you make choices that match God’s plan. Glory to God!
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for the abiding presence of your Spirit who illuminates my mind with the Word and grants me quick understanding in all things, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
