Title: Telephone Virtue/Dan 2:46-49
Content Dan 2:46-49
Title: phone scam
1. God wants everyone to live a happy life. It is God's will that he, no matter how evil, should repent and turn away.
2. However, there is no way to bridge the gap because there is always a deep difference between man's thoughts and God's thoughts. So sinners misunderstand God.
3. The word “phone wi-bok” means that anger has changed and turned into a blessing. For those who are grateful, it is always a series of phone calls. All I have to say is thank you
I. Everyone has difficulties in life.
A. Daniel also had several crises.
1. He is an unfortunate man who left his hometown Sancheon as a prisoner of war. Some time ago, Culture Broadcasting did a report on 76 people who left their hometowns in a middle-income country that was neither north nor south during the last six-five war. It is said to have touched everyone's heart. They chose the Third World rather than the South or the North, but their lives ended in failure.
2. Leaving home is not common. Still, it's okay to go to a hometown that you can visit whenever you want. How miserable is your situation when you've been taken prisoner in a faraway foreign country?
3. Daniel is a person who has established prayer as a habit. He always prayed. Daniel, who prays so much, could not help but pray that he would be released from captivity. But that prayer was not answered. Why? Everything is there for a reason.
4. However, the prayer he offered at the moment of crisis in the palace of Babylon, where he was vying for the prospect of life, was immediately answered. God allowed him to be taken captive, but he did not turn away from damaging his life. In a moment of crisis, God answered Ki's prayer.
B. There are crises in our lives.
1. Everyone wants a smooth life without crisis. Fear of urgent news coming and going. If possible, I want to hear good news. But our life is not so smooth.
2. We pray countless times. In particular, Korean church members pray a lot around the world. However, not all of those prayers are answered. Clearly, the Bible says that the prayers of the righteous are answered. So, believing these words, many people prayed all night in tears for the reunification of the nation. Even now, there are people who pray 24 hours a day in some prayer centers. But their prayers were still unanswered.
3. Through Daniel's lesson, we eventually realize that no matter how much we cry out, prayers that are not in accordance with God's will are not answered.
4. Even a great person like Daniel has faced a crisis, but how is the life of ordinary people like us? Maybe it's normal.
II. Suffering is God's blessing.
A. Daniel solved the king's problem.
1. King Nebuchadnezzar's troubles were a problem that only Daniel in this world could solve. No one else can solve it. Even Daniel's three friends couldn't solve it.
2. What would have happened if Daniel had not been held captive there? It would never have been resolved.
3. Problems are always painful. No one enjoys pain. Everyone wants the pain to pass by.
B. God's will was revealed.
1. Daniel solved the king's troubles and received a great prize. The king got up first and bowed down to Daniel. This is the mysterious power of the spiritual world.
3. What kind of person is King Nebuchadnezzar? He is a man who owns everything to the point that he no longer has anything to envy. There was no way Daniel could be bowed down by any means other than spiritual power. It's unimaginable.
4. To do this very thing, God sent Daniel to this place.
C. God uses those who obey.
1. For Daniel, obedience is the most basic virtue. His whole life was always obedience. However, he did not obey anyone. He clearly knew what to obey.
2. Those who obey God are not the only ones who do well. It also makes those around you happy.
3. Because of Daniel's obedience, thanks to God's blessing, all the magicians in Babylon saved their lives, and Daniel's three friends not only survived, but also those three friends were given official posts. The king gave Daniel the title of being in charge of each province. In our way, he is the Minister of the Interior. Not only that, but also the Minister of Culture was appointed concurrently. And the three friends were given the positions of mayor.
4. This is a phone violation. who is that! The providence of God is known only to those who obey. So, didn't Paul confess, "The depths are the mysteries of God"?
