Scripture for Meditation
Daniel 2
NIV
29 “As Your Majesty was lying there, your mind turned to things to
come, and the revealer of mysteries showed you what is going to
happen. 30 As for me, this mystery has been revealed to me, not
because I have greater wisdom than anyone else alive, but so that
Your Majesty may know the interpretation and that you may
understand what went through your mind.
NKJV
29 As for you, O king, thoughts came to your mind while on your
bed, about what would come to pass after this; and He who reveals
secrets has made known to you what will be. 30 But as for me, this
secret has not been revealed to me because I have more wisdom than
anyone living, but for our sakes who make known the interpretation
to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.
Meditation:
What role does knowledge play in the gospel and what role does it play in our life? Sometimes we can get caught up in thinking that our understanding is perfect or that we fully understand the mysteries of God. When we pause to think about it of course we recognize that our human understanding is limited.
God's spirit is what lifts us up in everything, especially knowledge. Also there is purpose in God showing us His mysteries. God showed Daniel His mysteries for Gods purpose. God knows His goals. God is the one that can share a sliver of His mysteries. Our human brains are so limited. The book of John says that if all the books were written about Jesus were written the world alone could not hold them. Thank God that He gives us the knowledge we need to do what He needs usto do.
Meditation of Prayer:
Pray as directed by the Spirit.
Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him.
Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm:
I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials.
