The Deep & Hidden Things

I'm participating in a wonderful Beth Moore Small Group on the book of Daniel and have been so challenged and blessed by the study of God's Word! I wanted to share this passage of Daniel 2 with you because I felt it was anointed. Daniel says this to the Lord when, after a night of fasting and prayer, He reveals to him the Dream of King Nebuchednezzar, whom no wise man could interpret. King "N" (whew) had vowed to cut into pieces all of the wise men since none could both interpret and tell him what his dream was. The Lord gave Daniel a vision explaining the dream while he slept and Daniel awoke with these praises on his lips:

20"Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
wisdom and power are his.

21 He changes times and seasons;
he sets up kings and deposes them.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.

22 He reveals deep and hidden things;
he knows what lies in darkness,
and light dwells with him.

23 I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers:
You have given me wisdom and power,
you have made known to me what we asked of you,
You have made known to us the dream of the King."

  1. I loved "Daniel". That was an absolutely eye-opening bible study for me. I'm doing "Esther" right now. We just started and I'm so looking forward to all the wonderful things to be revealed!
