The point of the matter revealed to you is always redemptive for the glory of God, never is it for self-engrandizement. "However, there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries" (Dan. 2:28). Wisdom, discernment and insight reside with God and to whom He desires to bestow them for His good pleasure according to His purposes. What was in the beginning will be in the end, and knowledge of the Holy One is by grace and not by straining. The hearts of His servants are directed to Him, and the tenor of their petitions are redemptive that He might be glorified among the sons of men as the only true and living God. Ask, receive, give thanks and proclaim confidently. Marvel at the work of the LORD on high in your midst, praise His name from the rising of the sun to its setting. Magnify the Lord Jesus Christ as His Spirit works in and through you as sons and daughters of light, bringing glad tidings of peace to those who dwell in darkness. Rejoice in His loving kindness, sing praises to His compassion. Exalt the God of heaven, serve the Lamb of God joyfully and expectantly.
