Gifted in All Wisdom

‎This particular book, of Daniel, was given to us so that we might understand that God is the ‎One, and the only One, who is the Source of true wisdom, whether it is in earthly things like ‎eating and drinking, or whether it is the wisdom related to how God is to be worshipped; ‎whether it is wisdom in taking your stand for God’s truth, or whether it is in understanding the ‎secrets related to Christ’s kingdom and its advance to conquer among the nations of the earth. ‎All of this wisdom is found in this precious book. And it was just this kind of wisdom that was ‎given to Daniel and these three young men by God. And so, this afternoon, I want to set before ‎you the ways that these young men were gifted in all wisdom. ‎1st of all – They had the wisdom ‎to hold fast to the true and living God in the midst ‎of a foreign culture which worshipped false ‎gods. 2nd – They had the wisdom not to be defiled by the King’s philosophy of education. (verses ‎‎8-16) And‎‏ ‏‎3rd – They had wisdom given to them by God when He saw that they would be ‎faithful to Him. (verses 17-21)‎
