BUT THERE IS A GOD
Today's reading: Daniel 2:24-3:30, 1 Peter 5, Proverbs 23:17-25

"The king said to Daniel (also known as Belteshazzar), Is this true? Can you tell me what my dream was and what it means? Daniel replied, There are no wise men, enchanters, magicians or fortune-tellers who can tell the king such things. But there is a God in heaven..." Daniel 2:26-28 NLT

'But there is a God...'

Some of my absolute favorite words in the book of Daniel.

In my opinion, better than the verse where the same king peers down into the lions' den and sees Daniel safe and sound...

Or the verse when Daniel and his friends step out of the fiery furnace, not even smelling like smoke...

Because this verse reminds us of power!

It gives us hope!

Maybe the news is as scary as all get-out...but there is a God!

Maybe there isn't enough money to make it to the end of the month...but there is a God!

Maybe the circumstances aren't at all what you'd asked for, deserved or would ever wish on your worst enemy...but there is a God!

Maybe the doctors didn't give any hope...but there is a God!

Maybe another day has passed and the prodigal hasn't been seen at the end of the driveway...but there is a God!

Maybe that loved one hasn't come to know the Lord YET...but there is a God!

That's powerful, friends!

Those words can re-set our thinking when doubts arise and fears assail.

But there is a God...
