Recently, I was reading Daniel, chapter 2.  Something stuck out to me that I have never really ‘taken in’ before.  King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream, and he wanted the ‘wisemen, soothsayers, etc, to come and both tell him the dream, as well as interpret the meaning.  When none of these guys could figure anything out,  Nebuchadnezzar got super angry, and gave a command to put to death all the wisemen and soothsayers in the land.  This included Daniel, and his friends Hananiah, Azariah, and Mishael (aka Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego).  Daniel asked the king if he might grant he and his friends some time to figure the dream out.  His request was granted, and Daniel went to his friends and explained the situation.  The four of them sought the Lord together, and asked GOD for compassion to be able to discern the dream.  GOD spoke to Daniel, and revealed the dream, as well as the interpretation, and Daniel and his friends were all saved.  

The thing that stuck out to me, was that Daniel shared the situation with his friends, and they sought the Lord together for a resolution.  The Lord heard them, and gave them the answer they sought.  Four GODly young men, standing together, crying out to the Lord for divine intervention for their very lives.  Not one of them did this alone.  They came together and sought the Lord.  I immediately thought of you, our dear friends, partners, and intercessors.  We share stories, both the difficult and the victorious.  We bring requests to you, asking for you to share in each situation in some form.  We cannot do this without you, and I don’t think the Lord would want it any other way.  None of us are lone rangers.  We need each other.  We need the Body of Christ, just as Daniel needed Hananiah, Azariah and Mishael.  Thank you for partnering with us in furthering the Kingdom.  Just as the 4 young men sought the Lord together and asked for divine intervention,  we thank you for seeking the Lord with us, for whatever He lays on our hearts and minds.  We need YOU!!
