The Impossible

How many times do I ask the impossible of myself, my children, and my husband? What is considered impossible for them? In today's reading of Daniel 2, Nebuchadnezzar was asking the impossible from the wise men; he wanted them to tell the dream and interpret it. Their response was "There is not a man on earth who can do what the king asks! No king, however great and mighty, has ever asked such a thing of any magician or enchanter or astrologer. What the king asks is too difficult. No one can reveal it to the king except the gods, and they do not live among men (Daniel 2:10-11)." Even the wise men acknowledged there is a God (although they said gods). I believe the king was power-hungry. I know that I can get that way - it's my way or the highway. Goal today - to reflect on what I'm asking of others and myself (I can be so hard on myself) and to relax in the Lord knowing that He is El Elyon - the Lord Most High who is in control of all!
