Today’s devo: Daniel 2

King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream and he called the magicians, astrologers, sorcerers, and the Chaldeans (“known for their study abd knowledge of astrology and astronomy” – gotquestions.org)–all the wise men of Babylon–to tell him his dream and interpret it.

The Chaldeans told the king that no man on earth could tell what the king dreamt about and the latter was infuriated. He commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon–which includes Daniel and his companions.

Daniel asked God to help them know the king’s dream and interpret it. The Lord made known to Daniel the dream and its interpretation through a night vision.

“He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him.” – Daniel 2:21c-22

Nothing is impossible with God. The Chaldeans  told the king that it’s not possible for man to know what his dream was, which is true–it really is not humanly possible, but God revealed it to Daniel. God is God and He can reveal anything to anyone should He so wills. And there truly is nothing hidden that will not be revealed. God reveals secrets.

“Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, ‘The secret which the king has demanded, the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, and the soothsayers cannot declare to the king. But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days…” – Daniel 2:27-28

After Daniel told the king his dream and its interpretation, King Nebuchadnezzar recognized God as God.

“Truly your God is the God of gods, the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since you could reveal this secret.” v. 47
