99 turns 50


Why should I write about Gretzky on a blog about Daniel? Well last night I saw an interview with Wayne Gretzky and what I saw was an extremely talented man who was very humble. It was not just a false humility but a humility that allowed him to thank those who helped him achieve all he did.
There is a great contrast between Arioch and Daniel in Daniel 2. When Daniel informed Arioch that he could tell Nebuchadnezzar his dream Arioch quickly told the king that he had found a man that could do what the king asked. He was quick to take the credit. Daniel on the other hand told the king that he could not do it except that the God of heaven and given him the dream and the interpretation. How often we are quick to take the credit and we forget that all good gifts come from our God.
