    The king talked with them; and among them all was found no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore stood they before the king. In every matter of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchante...

    If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances, "Don't handle, nor taste, nor touch" (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men? These things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imp...

Shattered Dreams

  • At the same time my understanding returned to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned to me. My counselors and my lords sought me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added to me. Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase. Daniel 4:36-37 WEB.

    Nebuchadnezzar was a great king that ruled over most of the known world during his life. He had conquered many nations. He had great dreams, and he built huge palaces. Then he became very prideful over all that he had accomplished. The Lord warned him about it in a dream, and the prophet Daniel interpreted it for him. Yet, Nebuchadnezzar refused to listen or correct his course. So at the height of his power, it was all suddenly taken away from him.

    Nebuchadnezzar lost his mind and wandered about the fields eating grass like an ox. His hair grew as long as eagle feathers. His fingernails became like bird claws. After seven years of this, he lifted his eyes to heaven, and his mind was restored, and then his kingdom. Though Nebuchadnezzar had allowed pride to mess up his life, when he humbled himself before God, he was restored, and he became even greater than before.

    There was a time in my life where I was pretty sure that I had wrecked the plans that God had for me. Yet, He is a God of restoration. The Lord can take the broken pieces of your life and make them into something beautiful. It's not too late. Though we can't change what happened yesterday, we can choose our actions today. That will begin to shape our future.

    If you've ever had a dream shattered, know that God can restore it. He can help you put it back together. It's not gone, just delayed while we get a bit more polished and able to handle what He is giving us. The Lord's delay doesn't mean His denial. The longer the wait, the greater the blessing that comes.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father, please give me new hope and a fresh vision. Restore the dream that You have for me, and make it a reality. Lead me into new things, and help me balance my attitudes during this time. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

Heavenly Father I know that I need to live a better life according to Your will, help me to eliminate those things that are holding me. Lead me to obtain those dreams I have dreamed that because of my foolishness had been stopped. Lord, touch me with Your forgiveness and grace and lead me. In Jesus Christ name I pray, Amen. Hear me O" Lord. 

As always thank you for today's message, God bless you and Sylvia, Amen.
