Praise the Lord for putting us in circumstances and situations where we have noone to trust but Him.
King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream that shook his whole being. The dream troubled the king. He called for the astrologers and sorcerers to interpret the dream. They said, "oh king tell us the dream and we will tell thee the interpretation." King Nebuchadnezzar answered, "no. If you are what you say you are, tell me both the dream and the interpretation." They were unable to tell the king the dream or the interpretation so the king had them killed.
Daniel, whose real name was Belteshazzar heard about the king's dilemma and said that he would interpret the dream. The king called for Daniel. Daniel, said, "oh king, if it please thee, tell me the dream." The king said, "no, you tell me the dream and the interpretation." Daniel said, "okay but first I must go to my charges, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego."
Daniel went back to his place where the king was keeping him locked up and he asked Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to seek God's face with him. They prayed and Daniel prayed throughout the night and God showed Daniel both the dream and the interpretation.
Daniel went to the king and shared with the king the message and vision that God had given him. King Nebuchadnezzar was thrilled and set Daniel over others in the region and gave him nice clothes and jewelry. The king was so happy that he built a statue made of gold and commanded that the people bow before the statue certain times, daily. The town's people noticed that Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego were not bowing before the golden idol. King Nebuchadnezzar ordered the guards to throw Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego into the fiery furnace. The fire was so hot that it burned up the guards who were putting Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego in the furnace. The king then ordered other guards to turn the fire up twice as hot. When the king went to check to make sure Shadrach, Meshach, and abednego were dead; while he was approaching the furnace he heard singing and praises to God. As he got closer he saw three men with heads full of hair and clothes that were completely intact. When the king took a closer look he saw a fourth man. He told the prison guards that when he looked in he saw a fourth man and the fourth man looked like the Son of God.
And we do not know what we shall be, but we do know that when Jesus appears we shall see Him as He is for we shall be like Him.
Glory to God! Hallelujah! Thank you Jesus!

Exercise your authority to tread on serpents and to cast out demons. You are the head and not the tail. Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. Exercise your holy boldness.
