Daniel 2:22 says: “He revealth deep and secret things.”

All of us love secrets. We love knowing what no one else knows. We love knowing the secret, whether it’s the secret ingredient or the secret password. Few things are more appealing than secrets. And that’s why a book simply titled The Secret can sell millions of copies.

I think many Christians are content with a superficial knowledge of God. But there is a secret knowledge that God wants to reveal to us, but it takes a pressing into His presence via worship and prayer and fasting. And there is a price that needs to be paid. I think the price is purity of heart. If your motives are holy, to simply know God, then God will reveal deep and secret things that will forever alter the way you see everything.

For Daniel, “the secret” was the ability to interpret dreams. And that may seem mystical but I would argue that it was practical as well. In the culture and organizational setting that Daniel found himself in, the interpretations of dreams was a skill set. I believe that God is still the revealer of secrets and it doesn’t matter whether you’re in marketing, teaching, politics, medicine or law. A relationship with God is both mystical and practical. And I believe He wants to help you the way he helped Daniel. One of the greatest modern-day examples is George Washington Carver. He asked God to reveal the mystery of the peanut and the rest is history! If you haven’t read his story, I share it in Primal. Worth the read.
