Whenever the king consulted them in any matter requiring wisdom and balanced judgment, he found them ten times more capable than any of the magicians and enchanters in his entire kingdom.

Praise the name of God forever and ever, for he has all wisdom and power.21He controls the course of world events.

Therefore, I make this decree: If any people, whatever their race or nation or language, speak a word against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, they will be torn limb from limb, and their houses will be turned into heaps of rubble. There is no other god who can rescue like this!”

Lord God my Father,

May I be well versed and balanced in my understanding of who you are. May I praise you in all I do today and bring others to desire to know you as I do.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
