God Knows
Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret
things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
Daniel 2:20-22
When Nebuchadnezzar had a dream that he recognized as important, he asked his counselors and those who claimed to be able to communicate with spirits to tell him what the dream meant. The problem was that he couldn't remember the dream. When they told Nebuchadnezzar that they needed to know the dream in order to interpret it, he became angry and ordered them all killed.
Daniel asked for time to respond, and after he prayed, God showed him both the dream and what it meant. Daniel was able to explain to the king the plan for the future that God had shared with him, and a recounting of the empires that would rise and fall before God's kingdom was established. While the king promoted Daniel and exalted him to a high position, Daniel continued to exalt God, giving Him the credit for the insight he had told the king.
God knows everything. All human knowledge is limited. All human understanding is restricted. We make decisions without knowing what the outcome will be, but God not only knows what will happen, He knows what would happen if we made a different decision. "Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure" (Isaiah 46:10). In a world filled with confusion, doubt, and fear, we can be confident. God never fails. He is never puzzled or confused. He has all of the insight and knowledge we need, and He freely gives wisdom and understanding to those who love and follow His Word.
God offers His wisdom and insight to all those who admit their need of His guidance and seek direction from Him.
