Displaying God's Wisdom
Daniel 1:17-21
Read the Bible through:
AM - Psalm 7-12 : PM - Acts 20:1-16
As for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. (Dan. 1:17)
The end result of Daniel's and his friends' faithfulness and commitment to God was that the king found them 10 times better than all his magicians and enchanters. God gave them wisdom and understanding beyond mere human achievement.
One of the amazing truths of Scripture is that God wants to do this for each of us. Just imagine! The resources of the God of the universe are available for you. As James so eloquently put it, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him" (James 1:5).
Faith and wisdom are not contradictory; they are complimentary. Knowledge has to do with the accumulation of facts, and wisdom refers to the best use of those facts. We desperately need more people whose minds, as well as their hearts, belong to God. Daniel understood this and so should we.
Let me, O God, reflect your wisdom in all I think and do.
