Good Morning. Sometimes we are placed in a position where we want to have wisdom and understanding. This morning in Dan. 2:23 we are reminded that wisdom comes from God and God alone. Daniel said, “I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the kings matter.” I pray that we will continue to consult with God for wisdom to understand the things which are required for us to gain eternal life. Notice very carefully that Daniel gave all the honour and glory to God for what he was shown by God. Daniel too no praise for what was given to Him by God. Matthew Henry in his commentary on this verse said, “It is God that gives wisdom to the wise, whether they be so wise as to acknowledge it or no; they have it not of themselves, but it is he that gives knowledge to those that know understanding, which is a good reason why we should not be proud of our knowledge, and why we should serve and honour God with it and make it our business to know him. What was hidden from the celebrated Chaldeans, who made the interpreting of dreams their profession, is revealed to Daniel, a captive-Jew, a babe, much their junior. God would hereby put honour upon the Spirit of prophecy just when he was putting contempt upon the spirit of divination. Was Daniel thus thankful to God for making known that to him which was the saving of the lives of him and his fellows? Much more reason have we to be thankful to him for making known to us the great salvation of the soul, to us and not to the world, to us and not to the wise and prudent.” I pray that we will continue to give God all the honour and glroy for what He is doing in our lives.
