Read Daniel 2 in context

Scripture Focus

14Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:
15He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
16Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation.
Daniel 2:14-16

Biblical Context

Daniel answers with counsel and wisdom to Arioch, then asks for time to reveal the interpretation.

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel's move is the textbook of the I AM in action. When the king's decree looms, Daniel does not plead or resist; he asserts the inner premise that the mind's counsel is alive and available. He questions the motive of the decree, yet not to deny it, but to tilt his attention toward inner guidance. By asking for time to interpret, he signals a surrender to the greater intelligence within—an invitation to reveal what the outer event cannot know. The outer haste is a mirror of inner fear; the inner stillness is the cause. In claiming time, Daniel shifts from re-action to revelation; he aligns his state with wisdom and allows interpretation to come through his awareness. You can imitate this: face your own crisis with calm inquiry, not struggle; question the surface demands, and grant yourself mental space to receive the meaning already present within you. When you acknowledge the I AM as your birthright, the interpretation arises not by striving but by alignment, and the decree of fear dissolves into clarity.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Declare in the present, 'I have time to receive the interpretation,' and feel that permission as real; sit in stillness and listen for inner counsel.
