God gave

Daniel 1:17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

When I read the Bible I tried to watch for God and what He did. It is His story that we are reading. It is easy to give credit where it shouldn’t be given. Here we find that the 3 Hebrew children and Daniel were very smart but it was God that gave it to them. It is easy to think that our intelligence is something we have but it was God that gave it to them. I need to be careful to realize that it is God that is at work in my life. All that I am and all that I have are from Him. Watch for God when you read the Bible.
