Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture from Our Daily Inspirations App.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, before I read or comment on God’s word, I pray that He prepares my heart to receive his guidance and ask that He uses me as his vessel to comment on His word.
The scripture is from Daniel 2:23 “I thank you and praise you, O God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and might, and have now made known to me what we desired of you; for you have made known to us the King’s matter.”
The devotion is titled Yours for the Taking by Beatrice Jean-Baptiste. King Nebuchadnezzar had a troubling dream. None of his wise men were able to interpret. The King was so frustrated that he put out a decree that all the wise men (including Daniel) would be executed because no one could tell what he dreamed the night before. Daniel prayed that God would give him wisdom (Daniel 2:23). God answered and revealed the King’s dream to Daniel. There are going to be times when we will feel powerless. When this happens, we need to pray for wisdom from above and God will give it to You (James 1: 5-6).
Reflections for you: Where in your life are you lacking in wisdom and need God’s guidance?
Here is my response: In my life I lacked wisdom in many things and turned to God for wisdom and guidance. One that really comes to mind every day is commenting on His words from daily devotions.
My Prayer for us: All mighty God, increase our faith and give us the wisdom we need to get through life’s challenges. Thank you for promising to answer this prayer every time we ask. In Jesus’s we pray, Amen.
