I don’t know about you, but when ever I do something, I wonder what people are going to think of me. When I talk to a group, I hope my mates like what I say, and that it will make me look good. When I’m playing sport, I’m thinking I hope I score that will make me look good. When I’m off out for the night, I’m thinking how can I dress so I look good. That doesn’t seem to be the same for Daniel. He strolls up to the kings and says I can tell you what your dream means, but it’s not me that has done it. He says God has told me about your dream, it’s nothing I have done. That’s a slightly different way of looking at things isn’t it? Perhaps I could look at things the way Daniel does, perhaps you could look at the way Daniel does. Maybe when I am talking in front of people and it goes well, I can remember it was God I prayed to before I started, it was God who gave me the words I needed. Maybe when you do well at sport, you could remember it was God who created you, it was God who gave you the skill. So the next time you have something big that you want to do, pray to the God who created the universe before you start. Then when things go well and everyone is saying how well you have done; you can thank them with a smile, and remind them it was God who gave you all that you needed to compete the job. Because just maybe it isn’t all about us, just maybe it’s all about our God.
