God Gives Revelation & Wisdom
Backgrounder on Daniel 1-3:
Daniel prophesies concerning
the role of Gentile powers in
God’s program for His people.
The first 3 chapters of the book
describe the spiritual integrity
of Daniel and his three friends.
Selected for government service,
they resist the pressure to conform
to their pagan environment and
instead take a stand for God. Whether in diet, truthfulness or
spiritual discipline, the four young
men live out their convictions.
Lord,grant us Revelation & Wisdom:
During the Night the mystery
was revealed to Daniel in a vision.
Then Daniel said: Praise be the name of God forever; wisdom
and power are His (Dan 2:19-20).
He Reveals deep and mysterious
things and knows what lies hidden
in darkness… I thank and praise U
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 (v22-23)
Lord, it seems that in the middle of
the night problems appear larger. At those times I am reminded that You never sleep and I can come
to You and cling to Your presence.
I pray that at those times You will
give me the treasures of darkness,
as You have spoken in Your Word.
I pray You will fill my darkness with
Your light and give me peace. Amen
Lord, I praise Your name.
You are the God who has all wisdom and power, the One who
guides world events. You give
wisdom to the wise and You
know what is hidden in darkness and all mysteries. I pray for your
wisdom and strength to handle
the tricky situation today. Amen.
Lord, I surrender to Your Spirit
within me. I am not leaning on
my own understanding or insight.
I look to You the All Knowing One
for understanding and wisdom.
For only You can reveal the things
we can’t know any other way.
Things we can’t know – by seeing,
hearing or even by imagining
are fully known by You God and
You are willing to reveal them to us.
For Your Word said in 1 Cor 2 that
No eye has seen, no ear has heard
and no mind has imagined what
God has prepared for those who
love Him. And His Spirit searches out everything and shows us
God’s deep secrets. So Lord,
Reveal to me those things which only You are custodian. Amen.
