When the Chaldeans protested to the king Nebuchadnezzar that he required too much of them, in demanding that they should declare his dream, they said that only the gods could tell such a thing, "whose dwelling is not with flesh." (Daniel 2:11)
But Daniel knew the true God, whose dwelling is with flesh, and he obtained the desired answer for the king. It is not enough to assent to the fact that Divinity is in the heavens. What we must know is that God is near at hand to help, and that "wisdom and might are His," (Daniel 2:20) as Daniel said. His name is "Emmanuel ... God with us." (Matthew 1:23)
If any lack wisdom--and who does not?--He will supply it, and as for strength, He will strengthen "according to the working of His mighty power." (Ephesians 1:19)--Present Truth, November 26, 1896--Daniel 2:11, 20
