46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell prostrate before Daniel and paid him honor and ordered that an offering and incense be presented to him. 47 The king said to Daniel, “Surely your God is the God of gods and the Lo rd of kings and a revealer of mysteries, for you were able to reveal this mystery.”
Happy New Year! I must say I am feeling extremely overwhelmed right now. We had a great Christmas break but now getting back to work I feel already out of control and in over my head in and inadeqate in several areas. I can't sleep, been up since 3:30am. I'm not telling you to complain but just sharing my heart.
I read today's chapter and what struck me is God is in control...thankfully. Its hard to imagaine how the King must have felt when Danile shared the meaning of his dream, without being told by the King even what the dream was about. It must have been overwhelming to know with certainty that God knows his every thought and was able to demonstrate that through Daniel.
I need to take comfort in the fact that God knows my every thought and concern. My concerns from a big picture are pretty small, certainly not life or death just things that take over my mind. I am praying for some peace right now.

Ah man! I'm a week behind, when I should be encouraging you. I must say that i've understand the feeling. Being in positions of great influence, can be a blessing and a curse. I question whether I can "really" do it almost everyday. Its a lot to handle. The tough thing is that I don't feel like I can really share it with anyone that will understand......(thats probably where you come in, right?) I don't like to take work home.
ReplyDeleteBut, you are right on! God is in control. He has put us in these spots for a reason. Not because he wants us to struggle, or because he wants us to feel inadequate. But, he has done it for HIS glory. Stop for a minute to think about that. He put you in this place, to glorify him! Don't you find that incredible?
Hang in there. Call me anytime.
I'm here for you, and I believe in you.
