When we live in exile (as Christ-followers are until we reach heaven), we inevitably wind up in situations that are simply beyond our power to control. Our look at lessons from the book of Daniel continues in Daniel chapter 2 as Daniel and his friends are faced with an impossible task where failure will result in their death. How do they get through such a situation? By depending on the sovereign God of the universe!
