I want to speak today about the idea of ‘re-orientation’ and in particular a re-orientated view of God’s power in our lives. In these verses in Daniel notice the power of control King Nebuchadnezzar is deploying not just on the new Jewish remnant in his midst but on all the people in his empire. He creates this massive statue, an idol of the Babylonian God, and calls people to bow down to it – to worship it – with the punishment for not doing so being death.
