Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…the king placed Daniel in a high position and lavished many gifts on him. He made him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and placed him in charge of all its wise men…at Daniel’s request the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego administrators over the province of Babylon…”
(Daniel 2:48-49)

You’re the one who made the king promote Daniel, Jesus.

Then You laid it on Daniel’s heart
to take his fellow Jews along for the ride.

Take me wherever You desire, LORD!

even if You have to move heaven and earth to do it.

Remember! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“King Nebuchadnezzar fell prostrate before Daniel and paid him honor and ordered that an offering and incense be presented to him. The king said to Daniel, ‘Surely your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries, for you were able to reveal this mystery.’”
(Daniel 2:46-47)

Everything this king said about you is true, Jesus.

But in time, he forgot
and paid a horrific price.

May I never, ever, ever forget!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth. This was the dream, and now we will interpret it to the king. Your Majesty, you are the king of kings. The God of heaven has given you dominion and power and might and glory…”
(Daniel 2:35-37)

The king’s dream, Jesus!

The interpretation You gave
through one of Your all-time favorites:

Daniel.

I long to be one of Your favorites, too!

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

As for me, this mystery has been revealed to me, not because I have greater wisdom than anyone else alive, but so that Your Majesty may know the interpretation and that you may understand what went through your mind.”
(Daniel 2:30)

You gave Daniel the ability to interpret dreams, Jesus.

That could have gone to his head.

But it didn’t.

He gave all the glory to You.

Though I’m no dream interpreter
that’s exactly what I intend to do!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“As Your Majesty was lying there, your mind turned to things to come, and the revealer of mysteries showed you what is going to happen.”
(Daniel 2:29)

You Are the Revealer of Mysteries, Jesus!

You revealed Your mysteries to Daniel
so he could reveal them to the king.

I have no idea why You wanted King Nebuchadnezzar to know these things.

But I can guess at why You revealed them to Daniel:

He’s one of your all-time favorites!

…as I long to be.

Pray this Lazaroo with full-on ardor:

“No wise man, enchanter, magician or diviner can explain to the king the mystery he has asked about…”
(Daniel 2:27)

I love it, Jesus!

When the king asked Daniel if he could interpret his dream
Daniel could have said, “Absolutely! I can do it! I’m your man!”

But he didn’t.

Instead, he revealed his inadequacy, his inability
his utter dependence on You.

May I never be afraid to confess my limitations

and my total, complete, wholly dependent reliance

on You.

Think again!…as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Do not execute the wise men of Babylon.”
(Daniel 2:24)

Daniel was pleading for the lives of heathens Jesus.

But he had to!

…because he was being lumped in with the very men
the king had ordered to be executed.

From a distance, Daniel could have been accused

of backing the wrong crowd.

But when I know the whole story

it makes perfect sense.

How often is that the case, Father?

How seldom do I know

the whole story?

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to execute the wise men of Babylon…”
(Daniel 2:24)

Took a lot of courage, Jesus.

Daniel was one of the wise men
Arioch was ordered to execute.

Daniel didn’t know this man would listen to him.

By showing up on his doorstep
Daniel could have become Arioch’s first victim.

But filled with confidence in You, Daniel marched straight into the danger.

Help me follow in the footsteps of Daniel!

Pray this Lazaroo in awestruck wonder:

“…you have made known to us the dream of the king.”
(Daniel 2:23)

Smart king, Jesus…

scary moment.

The king knew his astrologers could invent a false interpretation of his dream

so to check their supernatural legitimacy
he required them to first tell him what he had dreamed.

When they couldn’t, he ordered all his wise men killed

even innocent Daniel.

But You revealed to Daniel the dream, along with the interpretation!

proving once again:

There’s none like You.
