THE BIBLE IN MY LIFE August 1, 2005 Issue

DREAM LESSON FROM DANIEL

ANNETTE BRIDGES

HOW WELL I REMEMBER the Bible stories read to me as a child! Daniel in the lions' den. Joseph with his coat of many colors. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and the fiery furnace. David and Goliath. And many others.

Throughout my life, the Bible has been my life coach. If I need guidance of any kind, I know I can find it in the Scriptures. And Science and Health assures me that "the Bible contains the recipe for all healing" (p. 406). Again and again, I am finding this to be so.

Not long ago I learned a lesson from the account of Daniel's interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar's dreams, in chapters one to four of the Old Testament book of Daniel. The king sought advice from magicians, astrologers, and sorcerers, about the significance of these dreams, but they gave him no satisfaction.
