OBTAINING THE MERCIES OF GOD

Daniel 2:15-18

…Why is the decree so hasty from the king? … Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation. Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to … his companions: That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

Daniel received a sudden news of a threat on his life and that of all the wise men in Babylon, because no one could tell the king what he dreamt and the meaning of the dream. Humanly speaking, it was an impossible situation. All hope seemed lost, but not for those who knew that with God nothing is impossible. Instead of being troubled like every other wise man in Babylon, Daniel had confidence in the ability of His God. Together with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, they prayed and sought God for His mercies concerning the situation. The Bible says “Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.” (Dan.2:19). As you pray and seek God for His mercies concerning that situation right now, you will experience God’s power and intervention and you will praise and bless His name. You will have a testimony!

Our God is a very present help in times of trouble and He will help you right on time. The Bible says “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. *God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early,” (Psa.46:1, 5).

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need,” (Heb. 4:16).

Action Point:
Ask God for His mercies and intervention concerning any situation in your life or the life of others.
