"There is not a man. . ."

The Chaldean wise men were trying to get out of a bad situation. Their king demanded not only an interpretation of his dream, but also that they be able to tell them the dream that he had forgotten! Tall order. While they were trying to weasel their way out of the tight spot, they make a statement that is very true. "There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter:. . ."

They had it right. There are certain things that men cannot do. No man can save his own soul. No man can earn his way into Heaven. No man can please God without faith. No man can be saved unless he will call upon the name of the Lord. There are so many things. The good news is this: God does not require of you what you canot do. In fact, God provides for you what you cannot do. "For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works least any man should boast."

Daniel's response reflects his vibrant faith. "The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king: BUT THERE IS A GOD IN HEAVEN that revealeth secrets. . ." Thank God! "There is a God in Heaven!!" Do you have this assurance today? Is He real to you? He can be. If you will turn, by faith, from your sin and your self unto the Lord who has done, and can do what no man can do, HE WILL SAVE YOU. If you have already tusted Him, He will hear and answer your prayers. The best witness that we have as believers in Jesus Christ to those who do not know Him is that we get our prayers answered. I hope that you are in touch with the living God Who knows all about you and still loves you.

Have a blessed day getting to know Him better.
