Before we can really trust someone you have to know them. Daniel here shows his knowledge and trust of God, Jesus tells us to take His yoke upon us and learn of Him. The way to do this is by studying His word, being a doer of it, and praying to Him consistently. As the relationship grows the intimacy develops to that of friendship to close confidant. He begins to lead and guide you by the prompting of His spirit.

We continue in looking into the confident assurance that we will have answered prayer as children of God crying to our Heavenly Father in the Name of Jesus. He has consistently told us to petition the Father, in whatever we need let our request be known to God, and not grow weary in well doing.

As children of God, who have heard the saying "Dare to be a Daniel', we come to the Epistle of 1 John where it was written during assaults on the Church by Agnostics and Gnostics, is one of the reason the word "know " is emphasized several times. We are confident and have assurance of our salvation and being children of God, having eternal life by being born again of the spirit by grace through faith.

Daniel was not afraid to come before the King, to supply Him with a light shining for God Almighty being the Sovereign of the world, who dwells in the Heavens and among men. Who reveals secrets unto His friends, allowing Him to give the King the dream and the interpretation in confident assurance that God answers his prayers.

We as the Followers of Christ left in the world to be lights to the world, just as Daniel and his friends was in Babylon, we are to should confidence, faith, and conduct becoming as of the children of God. But the wisdom we must acquire the wisdom from above that given by God through His Spirit, communicating with our spirit. We see where Daniel conducted himself wisely, which was noticed by all in Babylon that came in contact with him.

We need to learn of just how large Babylon was and that the wisdom of the Magi men and Magi, sorcerer's was much different than what we think of these professions today, these was the Priest and cabinet level officials of their time.

For us as children of God, we must know our God as Daniel and his friends did, so that our faith will not fail. We have to realize that He's in charge of all events, circumstances, with full knowledge of us, our needs, bringing us to be shaped and formed in the image of Jesus. It is only seeing Him as Sovereign can we endure the life we are to live now.

We need to see what is the purpose of this hidden dream, and interpretation being given to Daniel to show Nebuchadnezzar. It seems to show both of them the Sovereignty of God, which Daniel seems to already know. But that the King and his court of magicians astrologers and the Babylonians who are polytheistic that there's one Sovereign God.

We have to dedicate ourselves to personal holiness, like some of the Saints in the Church at Sardis. Jesus said that it was some names among them who have not defiled (Soiled) their garments, with the world or things of the world. In this modern day Babylon, which God has called us out of so that we be not partakers of her plaques or you will be punished with her
