Scripture:
“The king said, “Now I know that your God is above all other gods and kings, because he gave you the power to explain this mystery.”” Daniel 2:47 CEV
Observation:
Daniel was first and foremost a man of God. He was also exiled to Babylon and serving their king as a wise man. He was elevated because of the favor of God on his life to a place where he could prophesy to the king and explain the king’s dreams to him. God had him in the right place at the right time for the king to see God’s incredible power and wisdom.
Application:
Sometimes we feel like the gifts of the Spirit are only for church settings, but here is a beautiful passage where God gave Daniel the dream and the interpretation for the king to save lives. God used a person to speak to a king on matters only the king would know about. God speaks to kings and he speaks through people. I need to avail myself more and more to the Lord to be used in the gifts outside of the church walls and where people need to know that God is real.
Prayer:
Lord God Almighty, I offer myself to You for Your purposes. Speak to our government officials and leaders. Let Spirit-filled people have answers nobody else has to demonstrate Your glory to our governmental leaders. Use me to operate in Your gifts in church and outside church to extend Your kingdom farther and farther.
Your Son,
Jeff
