What has the Lord shown you?
Daniel recognizes that God’s greatness is eternal. No matter how uncertain life feels, God remains steady, wise, and worthy of praise. This reminds us that true understanding and strength come from God, not from our own abilities. When we face confusion, challenges, or fear, He is the source of the insight and courage we need. The verse begins with a blessing and praise for the name of God. It recognizes God's greatness and the eternal nature of His name. It acknowledges that wisdom and might belong to God. This highlights His infinite wisdom and power. When you don’t see a way forward or when you’re surrounded by uncertainty, remember Daniel’s faith. God’s wisdom can bring clarity to confusion. His power can turn the impossible into possible.
How do you obey it?
- Acknowledge God as the Source of Wisdom and Strength: Don’t rely solely on your own understanding or strength. Ask God for guidance before making decisions, whether big or small.
- Praise God in All Circumstances: Give praise to God not only when things go well but especially when you’re uncertain or afraid. Trusting that God’s wisdom and power are working even when you can’t see it yet.
- Stay Humble When You Succeed: When God blesses you with success, answers, or opportunities, obey this verse by giving Him the credit.
- Trust God’s Power in Impossible Situations: Daniel obeyed this truth by trusting that God could reveal what no one else could. When you stop worrying and start believing that God can handle what you cannot.
Reflection
Do you regularly take time to bless and praise God, even when life feels uncertain? When you need understanding, do you turn to God first or rely on your own thinking? Do you believe that God can do the impossible in your life, as He did for Daniel? When God answers your prayers, do you give Him the glory or take credit yourself? How does acknowledging God’s wisdom and power change your attitude toward challenges?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I thank You for being the God of all wisdom and strength. You see what I cannot see and know what I do not understand. Just as You revealed truth to Daniel, reveal Your wisdom to me today. Teach me to trust in Your timing and depend on Your understanding, not my own. When I face challenges that seem impossible, remind me that Your power is greater than my weakness. Help me to honor You in every decision I make, to stay humble in success, and to give You praise in every season. May my life continually bless Your name and reflect Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
