What Does Daniel 2:29 Mean?
Daniel shows the king that God has met him in his own questions. As Nebuchadnezzar lay in bed wondering what would come to pass hereafter, the God who reveals secrets was already answering. The dream was no accident; it was a reply.
How tender that God should address the private musings of a heathen monarch. The Lord noticed the king's restless thoughts and spoke to them. This is a God who pays attention to the longings stirring within us, even when we do not know how to seek Him. He meets people where they are, in the night, in their wondering, with the truth.
