Day 44 God Gives Us His Wisdom
Daniel 2:23 (New International Version, ©2010)
I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors: You have given me wisdom and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you….
Yesterday in Daniel 2:22 we learned that God will show us “deep and hidden things.” Today we find that He has wisdom to give us and power to give us. Another word for “power” is ability. Do you ever feel like you just can’t make it—you just don’t have what it takes to keep going?
You can tap into God’s wisdom and God’s ability. Now that will put you up where you belong instead of at the bottom of the barrel, looking up!
God will lift us up, give us strength and put us over. All He wants us to do is ask. If a child comes to his mom or dad and sincerely asks for help, a good parent will do what it takes to help the child. God is the ultimate parent and He will do far more than any earthly parent could do.
We can ask for wisdom if we don’t know something. Here is His promise to us:
James 1:5 (Amplified Bible)
5If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him.
Daniel needed wisdom and ability and he needed it quick. He could have lost his life if he was not able to interpret the king’s dream. Now that’s pressure!! God came through for Daniel and God will come through for you too. Just ask!
Today’s Assignment:
1. Write down those things that seem bigger than you.
2. Ask God for his “power” or ability to deal with those particular things. (Write your prayer if it helps.)
3. Make a note in your journal when the answer comes. And be sure to thank Him for His faithfulness!!
Prayer:
Thank You that I am not alone and that all I have to do is ask and You will supply me with Your wisdom and Your ability. That gives me such confidence, God, and You know that I need that!! Thank You so much!! Amen.
