Last week we saw how Daniel came out alive from the den of lions. As a human being it is not easy to face such challenges in life but can only face those challenges with God's help. This was not the first problem that Daniel faced in his life face to face with danger. Through the several of those types of problems in his life every time he came out victorious. The reason is simple because he brought all his problems before God instead of using his own brain to solve his problems.
Daniel had three friends Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego. These friends were really of great help in the spiritual journey of Daniel. They prayed together, they discussed their problems together; they brought their problems before God and received solution for them together.
Once Nebuchadnezzar the king saw a dream and his spirit was so troubled that his sleep left him. Then the king gave the command to call the magicians, the astrologers, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans to tell the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king. And the king said to them, "I have had a dream, and my spirit is anxious to know the dream." Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic, "O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will give the interpretation." The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, "My decision is firm: if you do not make known the dream to me, and its interpretation, you shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made an ash heap. "However, if you tell the dream and its interpretation, you shall receive from me gifts, rewards, and great honor. Therefore tell me the dream and its interpretation." They answered again and said, "Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will give its interpretation." The king answered and said, "I know for certain that you would gain time, because you see that my decision is firm: if you do not make known the dream to me, there is only one decree for you! For you have agreed to speak lying and corrupt words before me till the time has changed. Therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that you can give me its interpretation."
The Chaldeans answered the king, and said, "There is not a man on earth who can tell the king's matter; therefore no king, lord, or ruler has ever asked such things of any magician, astrologer, or Chaldean. It is a difficult thing that the king requests, and there is no other who can tell it to the king except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh." For this reason the king was angry and very furious, and gave a command to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
So the decree went out, and they began killing the wise men; and they sought Daniel and his companions, to kill them. Then with counsel and wisdom Daniel answered Arioch, the captain of the king's guard, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon; he answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, "Why is the decree from the king so urgent?" Then Arioch made the decision known to Daniel. So Daniel went in and asked the king to give him time, that he might tell the king the interpretation. Then Daniel went to his house, and made the decision known to Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego, his companions, that they might seek mercies from the God of heaven concerning this secret, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. So Daniel blessed the God of heaven."
And Daniel told the dream and its interpretation to the king and his life with his friends was spared. The same God is ready to save our lives if we just put our lives in his mighty hands. If we just trust in Him and look for answers from Him instead of panicking in our situations. He is above all our problems. He is mightier than our troubles. He gave His precious life for us so that we could have eternal life. Would you invite Him in your life today and would you receive His forgiveness in your life?

Bible tells us that when the Israelites came out from their bondage in Egypt God miraculously led them and He provided for them in the wilderness. We read in Exodus 16:31 that God rained down bread from heaven called Manna, "And the house of Israel called its name Manna. And it was like white coriander seed, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey." And further we read in Exodus 16:32, Then Moses said, "This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: 'Fill an omer with it, to be kept for your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.'"
Bible tells us that God provided supernaturally for more than 2.4 million people in the wilderness. There were times when they were surrounded by enemies, but in those situations, God miraculously delivered them. There were times when their lives were in danger and there was a time when they thought as if they lost all their hope but God came for their rescue.
Yes, Mighty Lord Jesus can turn around your situations, your circumstances and can make impossibility a possibility. He can wipe away your tears and give you joy. You may be shedding bitter tears today and may be thinking that there is no hope for you. But if you look to Jesus, He can change every equation and turn around every situation or circumstance.
Once we went through terrible financial problem. One night I saw a dream. In my dream I saw several angels coming to our house. There were six or more angels. Each of them had a sack on their back. One by one they unloaded their sacks in one of the rooms of our house and they turned and went away without saying a word. I was standing there and watching everything. I do not know how I knew without their telling that all the sacks had grocery, grains and food items. The last angel went past by me and went one or two steps further then he turned back and looked towards me. He smiled the most beautiful smile, such a smile that I had never seen, and said to me, "These would be for you to eat for many-many days." I smiled and nodded my head in reply and they all vanished right before my eyes.
In the morning I thought, "What type of dream was it?" But right away I knew that God would provide us supernaturally in our time of trouble. Our financial condition worsened but God provided for us so miraculously that for many more months we had enough to eat three good meals everyday. He did not allow us to be hungry even for a single time of the day.
I remember one more incident when God provided for us miraculously. It happened when the Babri Mosque was demolished in India and there was wide spread riots taking place all over India. On the last week of November my mom told my brother to purchase grocery and she said, "In the next month Christmas is coming. So purchase extra grocery. So my brother purchased for one and a half months grocery. But we had no idea about what lay before us. A few days later, the Babri Mosque was demolished and there was curfew for more than one month and shoot at sight orders were given. No one could go out of their homes but we had enough to eat.
Yes, there is a Mighty God who cares for you and wants to bless your life. Are you going through impossible situations today? Have you lost all your hopes? But Jesus can help you. He can turn your situations around and can bring back smile on your face. He can wipe away your tears. He came down in this world for the very purpose. He gave His precious life for us on the cruel cross so that we could come out of our sins and live a blessed life. If you have not yet accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior please pray this prayer: Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. Please forgive and forget all my sins and give me a new life. Today I accept you as my Lord and Savior. From now on I will walk in your holy ways. Please wash me with your precious blood. Thank you for giving me this new life. Thank you for turning my circumstances around. I pray in Jesus name, Amen.
