When King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream that troubled him, he asked the astrologers the meaning of the dream but they couldn’t tell him. As a result he was furious and ordered that all of the wise men in Babylon be executed. Men were sent to find Daniel and his friends to follow the orders of the king. When Daniel was found by the king’s guard, “Daniel handled the situation with wisdom and discretion.”
Daniel was given important information. Lives were in danger. His life was in danger. Daniel did not run away and hide. Daniel did not run away and make a big announcement to all of his friends. Daniel did not get frantic. Daniel did not act first and think later. He responded with wisdom and discretion.
There are moments in our lives where we should do the same but instead we make a post on a social media network or send text messages to a group of friends. There are moments when we act too soon without much thought and end up getting ourselves into more trouble. As you go through this week, with each situation you face, aim to act with wisdom and discretion.
“When Arioch, the commander of the king’s guard, came to kill them, Daniel handled the situation with wisdom and discretion.” – Daniel 2:14 [NLT]
