King Nebuchadnezzar who has a dream and his heart is troubled

 

Daniel 2:1-13

 

King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream and was troubled, so he called the magicians of the Chaldeans to tell the king what his dream was. When the Chaldean magicians say that no one can understand or interpret the king's dream, the king orders all the Chaldean magicians to be killed. So he goes looking to kill Daniel and his three friends.

 

God is the creator and ruler of the whole world. So he gives a dream to King Nebuchadnezzar and makes him fall into trouble. Only Daniel can understand this dream. Because he had made up his mind and did not defile himself with the food and wine the king gave, he ate and drank only vegetables and water, and was filled with the Spirit of God. In this age of constant threat of war, we and our children can make up their minds like Daniel, resist the temptations of the world, properly discern the times through a life filled with the Spirit of God, and suggest the direction we need to go with God's help. should be able to.

 

King Nebuchadnezzar suffers from nightmares and cannot sleep. No matter how much power and wealth he has in the world, he cannot find true peace. May you enjoy true peace in the Lord who gives you peace that the world does not know.

 

God, we fear You, who made and rule the whole world, and in difficult times such as the threat of war and the Itaewon disaster, we set our will, resist the temptations of the world, be filled with the Spirit of You, discern the times, and guide us in the direction we should go. With Your help, let us present it! May we find true peace in You, who gives us a peace that the world does not know!
