Meant to cause a change

Friends,

the LORD uses a remarkable event to demonstrate that His hand is upon His servant Daniel. He endows Daniel with the wisdom to accurately interpret King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, even though the king refuses to describe it to him. Daniel proclaims the reason behind this miracle to the king's court:

Daniel 2:30 [NKJV]
But as for me, this secret has not been revealed to me because I have more wisdom than anyone living, but for our sakes who make known the interpretation to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.

The miracle was for the king. And sadly, the king never acknowledges that the LORD is truly the Lord. He never repents of his idolatry and paganism. And he never recognizes his sinfulness or his need for redemption.

This is the danger we are faced with ... we have seen the handiwork of God but we do not change our hearts.

Sisters and brothers, do not let the mighty works of Christ be in vain. You have experienced His blessing and His divine disruptions. They are meant to change your heart.

Be encouraged, Jose
