We left Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah on their knees in prayer.
Urgent prayer.
It was during the night that God revealed the mystery to Daniel.
Can you imagine being one of the three who didn't receive it?
Their place was critical but at the same time they had to trust that God had given a clean answer that concerned their very lives to someone else.
What a challenge it would be to trust someones else's relationship with God.
It would be huge to be the "me" in "we" who is chosen to hear from God on behalf of others.
wisdom and power are his.
He changes times and seasons;
he sets up kings and deposes them.
He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to he discerning.
He reveals deep and hidden things;
he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him.
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 know to me what we asked of you,
you have made known to us the dram of the king."
Daniel 2:20-23
