“THE MYSTERY WAS REVEALED!”

Daniel 2:19-23 (ESV)

“19 Then “THE MYSTERY WAS REVEALED” to Daniel in a vision of the night. THEN Daniel BLESSED THE GOD OF HEAVEN.
20 Daniel answered and said: "Blessed be the name of GOD forever and ever, to WHOM belong WISDOM and MIGHT. 
21 HE changes times and seasons; HE REMOVES KINGS AND SETS UP KINGS; HE GIVES WISDOM TO THE WISE and KNOWLEDGE TO THOSE WHO HAVE UNDERSTANDING; 
22 HE reveals deep and hidden things; HE KNOWS WHAT IS IN THE DARKNESS, and THE LIGHT DWELLS WITH HIM. 
23 To you, O GOD of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, for YOU have given me wisdom and might, and have now MADE KNOWN TO ME what we asked of YOU, for YOU have made known to us the king's matter."”

Why are we amazed when ALMIGHTY GOD REVEALS hidden TRUTHS to we who haven’t been able to previously SEE? GOD SEES all, even knowing the thoughts and intents of our hearts (Hebrews 4:12), so why should we be even startled when we finally SEE precisely WHO HE is? GOD even “SETS UP” KINGS, revealing HIS TRUTH through the actions through the JUST ad the UNJUST!

Daniel was gifted by GOD to be able to SEE things that most mortals have not had their EYES opened to as of yet. However, Daniel didn’t think himself higher than others! He gave thanks and praise, for GOD had given him wisdom and might, and MADE KNOWN TO HIM what he needed to know to glorify the GOD OF HEAVEN! He understood that he was simply a tool being used by GOD for a precise purpose, and he wasn’t about to allow pride and conceit destroy the work of GOD!

“THE MYSTERY WAS REVEALED” to Daniel several times when others were unable to SEE what GOD was trying to make known to them. Likewise, we have a responsibility to share what we SPIRITUALLY SEE to those whose EYES have yet to be OPENED by GOD to understand what HE is doing. Jeremiah 29:13 tells us that “You will seek me and find ME, when YOU SEEK ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART.” Could it be that GOD has given us the desire to SEEK HIM to so that we can be used to share HIS TRUTH to those are not in a position to see/hear from GOD?

Just because “THE MYSTERY WAS REVEALED” to us doesn’t mean that we have the choice of whether to “keep the secret” or let others know THE TRUTH! We need to be willing to share the KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING GOD has BLESSED us with for HIS GLORY! A pastor friend of mine used to proclaim that most Believers tend to”sit, soak, and sour” on the TRUTH rather than to run the risk of “offending” people who are headed to hell! My prayer is that I will proclaim “THE MYSTERY WAS REVEALED” to me and that my future is IN CHRIST!!!
