Daniel 2:30
Daniel is about to interpret Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, but first says:
“…this secret has not been revealed to me because I have more wisdom than anyone living, but for our sakes who make known the interpretation to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.”
Daniel 2:30
May you be crowned with righteousness today!

A quick commentary: Daniel says before this that “there is a God in heaven who reveals secretsâ€. A man’s attributes are useless, only God knows all that can be known and reveals all that is to be revealed.
In the verse above Daniel says that God revealed the dream to him because 1. God is about to deliver his people and 2. God is about to deal with Nebuchadnezzar. It wasn’t about Daniel’s wisdom and abilities at all. God uses us not because we are so wise and gifted but because we are willing conduits for His will and purposes as Daniel was.
Remember next time you see someone boasting about their gifts or ministry that no one has any more spiritual ability than any one else. It’s about God in heaven and what He chooses to do. Prayerfully that someone isnt YOU!

George,
Your commentary is spot-on! We all need to be reminded that we are nothing and that Christ is all.
Press on, my dear brother.

Your selection and commentary is very relevant, if not prophetic, for my situation right now. Thanks!
