Daniel 1 and Daniel 5 state that God can give His kids extra intelligence. You have to ask for it, and sometimes you have to fast for it. God will trust those who seek His face for wisdom with more of it. In Daniel 1 we see that Daniel and his three friends were ten times better than the wise men in Babylon. How did they get that way? They were fasting from the King’s rich food, and, they were also Jews, the chosen people of God, and we are now grafted into that chosenness by faith in the LORD Jesus. We need to understand that all wisdom comes from God as Proverbs 2:6 states: “For the LORD gives wisdom, and from His mouth comes knowledge and understanding” (KJV). If you seek the source of wisdom as Daniel certainly did, you will end up a different person. Daniel 5:12 states that the prophet himself in his latter years was described as having an “excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts” (KJV). Wow, I am all in for that!
