As born again believers we in the fear of God began praying to Him everyday, for wisdom to carry out and conduct ourselves, seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit in all we do. Our prayers and supplications to Him becomes less material and more along the lines of the promises in His word, turning not to the left or right but with His hidden word in our hearts patiently wait upon the prompting of the Spirit, bringing every thought into captivity and obedience of the Lord.

We need to read the Book of proverbs through at least once a year, what I tell my members and my family is to pick a month with 31 days and read a chapter a day. According to the first chapter verse 1-9, this was one of the reasons the Book was written was to give wisdom to the simple, prudence and light to live in todays world but to be separate from the world.

We gain wisdom from God through our union with Christ, being born again of His Spirit, which guides and leads us into all truth. It's studying His word which is able to make us wise unto salvation.

We have to be converted to have the same mind as Christ, which requires asking of God for daily wisdom to walk in the right paths of life, making right decisions guided by His Spirit. To be able to gain spiritual wisdom that we need in forming us in the image of God.

As children of God we learn that wisdom from God is something that we ask of Him to give, which He freely gives to us, desiring that we consistently bring this specific request to Him. This is seen in Daniel that he conducted himself wisely among the fallen Babylonians which is a good example to us in this date and time, that we deal prudently in this fallen nation in which we live.

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.
