Daniel 2:27-28

"Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, 'The secret which the king has demanded, the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, and the soothsayers cannot declare to the king. But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of you head upon you bed....'"

"In these verses Daniel tells King Nebuchadnezzar that God can do what no wise man or magician can. God can reveal secrets. God showed is power through Daniel many times. At this point in the story, King Nebuchadnezzar wanted to know the meaning of a dream he had. Just one problem, he wouldn't tell anybody his dream. All of the wise men, enchanters, and magicians failed to give the king the correct answer. That's when Daniel stepped in and saved the day. God told Daniel King Nebuchadnezzar's dream and helped him interpret it. God revealed the secrets of the king's heart. And God knows your dreams right now, not just the dreams you have at night but your dreams for the future. Thank God for knowing and guiding your future. God reveals special serets to people who believe in him."

Psalm 73: 23-24

"Nevertheless I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand. You will guide me with Your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory."

"Jesus is always with you, so close that he holds your hand. He guides you. And at the end of your life, he will take you home to heaven to be with him. When you were little and went to a busy public place with your dad, you probably held his hand. Wehn you hold someone's hand you feel safe because you know that you are not alone. Your dad could also guide you in the right direction as your hand rested safely in his. It's the same way with Jesus. In this crazy world, he is so close to you that you can imagine him holding your hand. He wals with you through everything you face- good and bad. There's noreason to be afraid. No matter where you go, Jesus is with you. And he will stay with you until the ay he takes you home to be with him. When you hold Jesus's hand, you are always safe. Thank Jesus for holding your hand."
