What Does Daniel 10:15 Mean?
Overcome again by what he has heard, Daniel turns his face to the ground and is struck speechless. The weight of the message and the messenger silences him; he has no words left with which to answer.
There is a kind of reverence that empties a person of speech. Faced with the holiness and immensity of God's purposes, Daniel falls quiet, as anyone might who has glimpsed something too great to comment upon. Silence before God is not failure but worship. Sometimes the truest response to His word is not to speak but to bow low and let it settle into the depths of the soul.
