Daniel Praises God

1. Today's Passage: Daniel 2: 17-23

Are you getting to know your bible?

Or if it is better for you find the chapter NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or for your convenience I have typed the chapter below from the New Living Testament (NLT).

17. Then Daniel went home and told his friends Hananiah, Mishael, and Asariah what had happened.
18. He urged them to ask the God of heaven to show them his mercy by telling them the secret, so they would not be executed along with the other wise men of Babylon.
19. That night the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven.
20. He said,

"Praise the name of God forever and ever,
for he has all wisdom and power.
21. He controls the course of world events; he removes kings and sets up other kings.
He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars.
22. He reveals deep and mysterious things and knows what lies hidden in darkness, though he is surrounded by light.
23. I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors, for you have given me wisdom and strength.
You have told me what we asked of you and revealed to us what the king demanded."

2. What a powerful prayer of praise.

3. I encourage you to reread these verses.
Would you be able to ask God to give you the same understanding of God's greatness as Daniel exhibited?

4. Are you familiar Daniel's story?
I encourage you to read the book of Daniel.
It is 12 chapters long.

Every few months I am in a situation that requires wisdom. I know there are times that I need it on a daily basis. And I request it in those times as well (at least when I see them as being a need - other times I make quick decisions and sometimes regret my choice)
The last few days have been such days.

As I read these verses this morning it confirmed that I had moved in the right direction. I had run to God for clarification and guidance.

I can't always attest to that. Of course, the older I get the more it happens, because, well, I'm old. LOL.

But, in the aftermath I also know from my life that just because I made the wise decision doesn't mean it isn't hard, doesn't hurt, and isn't painful.

This morning's verse confirmed my path was right. Now, I must go about this day handing it over to El Elyon, holding onto the knowledge that the Most High God who sees, El Roi is covering my friend's disappointment and my sadness.

I'm 60 and living a wise life is more quickly walked, but no more easily released.

I just know the battle is best laid before my LORD.

So this morning, with confirmation from this verse. I praise God.

"Praise the name of God forever and ever,
for he has all wisdom and power.
21. He controls the course of world events; he removes kings and sets up other kings.
He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars.
22. He reveals deep and mysterious things and knows what lies hidden in darkness, though he is surrounded by light.
23. I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors, for you have given me wisdom and strength."
Amen and Amen

He reveals Himself to me one layer at a time. What a marvelous mystery
