The Protection of Wisdom Daniel 2: 20-24

Read the passage Daniel 2


1)  God’s servant is adequately equipped for any visiting challenge.                          
20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:

2)  God’s servants need not back away from spiritual challenge, but look to God’s eternal truth and unsurpassed ways.                                                                       
21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

3)  God’s servant understands God’s wisdom is all superior to any challenge man faces.   V.21

4)  God’s servant seeks God to reveal Himself to/before men so they might have opportunity to respond to the God of glory and eternity.                                           
22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

5)  God’s servant goes forth with great spiritual confidence in God.                               
23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter.

6)  God’s servant willingly and delightedly enters into the court of man’s confusion and indifference and fear.                                                                         
24 Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation.

7)  God opens the door to His servant to tell the story of God, so secure, to those unbelieving in God. V. 24
