King Nebuchadnezzar had restless nights filled with dreams
Magicians were called to recall and interpret the dreams.
The Chaldeans said this was an impossible tasks, only the "gods" could.
The King ordered all the "wise men" of Babylon be killed (including Daniel.)
Daniel requested an opportunity to meet with the King.
Daniel met with his friends and told them to pray to seek mercy from God regarding the dream.
That night, God gave Daniel the King's dream in a vision.
Daniel worshipped God saying the following about God
* Wisdom and might belong to God
* God changes the season
* God sets the kings in power.
* God gives wisdom to the wise
* God gives knowledge to the understanding
* There are no mysteries hidden from God, he reveals them
* Thanksgiving to God
Applications:
There are mysteries hidden from even the wisest, earthly men.
There are no mysteries with God.
God is the source of all wisdom and understanding.
Our job is to ask for wisdom, receive His wisdom, and offer thanksgiving!
Question for self:
1. Am I seeking God for His wisdom?
2. Do I expect to receive it?
3. Am I giving God praise and thanks immediately when he answers prayer?
