MIRACLES IN 2025
God’s Blessings
Daniel 1:18-21
Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. Dan 1:19 And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king. Dan 1:20 And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm. Dan 1:21 And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus.
Daniel made a decision to put God first in his life. Here we see the result of that correct decision. The king, who was Nebuchadnezzar, brought Daniel and his three friends into his private chambers to test them. He did not know about their walk with God, the decision that they had made, nor the eating habits of these four young men. However, God did, and He honored them for their faithfulness.
After testing them, the statement was made that among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king. Dan 1:20 And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm. The king found them better than all of the others in his empire.
They had given themselves to God, and God had given to them the wisdom and understanding that set them apart and above all their peers. This is God’s blessing. He honors those who honor Him. It is always right to put God first in all we do and not to follow the ways of the world. We should never compromise what is right biblically. When we put God first in our lives, then He can bless us as only He can.
The most important thing in our lives is our relationship with the Lord. We must put Him first in all that we say and do. Then we can look forward to God’s blessings in our lives.
