Contemplative Bible Reading

Daniel 2:28 (New Living Translation)

But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the future. Now I will tell you your dream and the visions you saw as you lay on your bed.

Daniel is speaking with the King, Nebuchadnezzar. The King had a troubling dream. He couldn’t remember it. It was known only to himself, i.e., it was a secret. Daniel plainly tells the King about God the Creator, the Lord Jehovah or YHWH. Jehovah reveals secrets.

There is nothing in creation that is secret from God. That is a sobering concept. It is so sobering that we all deny it often.

“No one knows about this but you and me, so…” How silly is that? God knows and God can reveal it to anyone He chooses at any time.

Got a secret? Sorry. I don’t, and the sooner I admit that to myself and act like I know it, the better. Please God, help me in my unbelief.
