One Year Bible: Day 330 - Daniel 1:1-2:23; 1 Peter 5:1-14; Psalm 134:1-3
Daniel’s praise, offered to God, in Daniel 2:20-23,
highlights for us the direction from which blessing comes. It comes
from above. What we do not have is given to us by God - “He gives” (Daniel 2:21), “You have given me” (Daniel 2:23). Daniel’s praise is echoed in Peter’s praise: “To Him be the power for ever and ever. Amen” (1 Peter 5:11).
Again, in Psalm 134, the connection between praise and blessing is
underlined: “Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord ... May the
Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth bless you from Zion” (Psalm 134:3).
