Daniel 1-3
King Nebuchadnezzar was really something!  To expect anyone to not only interpret his dream, but to tell him what it was he dreamed, is somewhat beyond belief.  However, one can’t argue with is logic.  If he who claims to be a seer is genuine, then knowing what the king dreamed should be a piece of cake, and it was for the ones who relied upon God.  You would think this feat would be enough to convince Nebuchadnezzar that Jehovah was the only true God.  No, in his narcissism, Nebuchadnezzar sets himself up as a god to worship.  Once again, through Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, God is revealed through the flames of the fiery furnace!  What does it take to convince you that our God is real?  I know that most who read this blog don’t need convincing.  Yet, for those who don’t know the Lord, I want to ask the simple question, “Why not?”  In the Christian era, where we are free from the confines of the Law, offered salvation as a gift of grace and mercy through Jesus Christ, I find it difficult to understand how anyone could reject Him.  Lack of belief today is so much more astounding than in the days of Nebuchadnezzar it simply boggles the mind!  I would truly love an honest person to offer up an honest answer to my question, to help me understand, because I honestly don’t!
