Daniel 2:22-24 (New International Version)

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."

Have you ever prayed for something that was a life and death matter? I mean you know if you don't hear from God that your life or someone else could be on the line! Well, this is where Daniel was at! He knew if God did not show him the answer to the dream the king had, he and his three friends would be killed. Already people had been killed because they couldn't interpret the dream. In the scriptures above he is thanking and praising Him, because the dream has been known to him. I am sure Daniel and his three friends were down on their knees doing some heavy praying, seeking God as though their lives depended on it (which it did), and here is something else to consider, God only showed Daniel! Do you think the other three would like to have been shown to? Now they would have to trust that Daniel had truly heard from God. As we pray and seek God this week for His wisdom and power, be sure to expect Him to answer and then be sure you praise and thank Him for the answer.
