Daniel 2:21-22
He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding; he reveals the deep and secret things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him.

George Washington Carver said, “All my life, I have risen regularly at four in the morning to talk with God. That’s where He reveals His secrets to me.” God desires to share His secrets with each of us. For some He shares how to make things out of peanuts, others how to get a rocket into space, and others how to protect people from invisible diseases. What do you think He would share with you?

1 Corinthians 2:10
But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

If you want to get to know God, you do it through His Spirit. When Jesus went to heaven, He told His disciples that He wouldn’t leave them alone, He would send them a Helper. And that Helper helps you too, revealing the deep things of God. When you read your Bible, He helps you understand God’s plans, His character, and especially the incredible love that He has for you.

Daniel 12:3
Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.

Daniel was a person who seemed to be filled with wisdom. It followed him his whole life and seemed to protect him from lions, liars, and laws. Here’s the deal, wisdom doesn’t change its tune when things are hard. It tells you to pray with the window open, to pray when people say false things about you and to pray when the lions are closing in. That sage wisdom led even kings to their knees.

Matthew 5:16
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Without a bulb, a lighthouse is useless. At night, the light is there as a signal to warn incoming ships of danger. And God’s given you a light to shine in the darkness as well. The cool thing is, when you shine it, it helps reveal the goodness of God. So, find a way to let that light shine today while you’re at home, at work, and in your community.

John 1:5
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Imagine walking through a dark room. You’d probably feel uncomfortable, maybe even scared because there’d be no light to illuminate the space. But once the light is turned on, the darkness can’t linger, and neither can your fears. And that’s what happens when Jesus comes into your life. He removes the darkness and fear, then he replaces it with light and peace.

Psalm 37:5-6
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.

How do those who fear the Lord respond to a world filled with wickedness? David chose to do it by committing his way to the Lord even during difficult circumstances. He believed that if he left everything in God’s capable hands, even an angry, vengeful king, that God would eventually make David’s righteousness shine for all to see.
