In Daniel 2, God revealed the meaning of Nebuchadnezzar’s
Dream.
In the words of Daniel:
Daniel 2:22 (NRSVue) - He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with him.
None of Nebuchadnezzar’s advisors could explain the dreams that troubled him.
But Daniel knew that God could reveal the meaning behind the dreams.
In John 17, Jesus prayed for His disciples.
In His prayer, Jesus stated that the world did not know the Father.
But Jesus knew the Father,
And through Jesus, the disciples understood He was sent by the Father.
John 17:25 (NRSVue) - “Righteous Father, the world does not know you, but I know you, and these know that you have sent me.
God gave Daniel the ability to tune into His revelation and interpret dreams.
God gives us abilities as well.
Some call these talents or gifts.
And there are still those who live in the world who do not know God.
But those who know Jesus also know God.
As we encounter those who are still of the world, may we use what God has given us to reach them.
On our best day, we cannot save anyone.
But even on our worst day, we can still make the introduction to the One who can save them.
