God used a dream to communicate to Nebuchadnezzar the future kingdoms of the world. He was a powerful king with the ability to conquer empires, but he could not understand the message of God.

We cannot even begin to imagine the difference in our lives, our homes, our churches and even in our community if we could just daily not to grieve the Holy Spirit.

The believer is to walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16) which is to live daily in dependence upon Him.
