“Anything your father could do, mine could do ten times better!”
This sounds like a war between two grade-school boys, doesn’t it? It’s not. It’s talking about our Father in heaven. God’s ways are far above our ways, and when we follow His directives for our lives, He will also see to it that we will see results that are ten times better than what we could connive.
Just look at Daniel and his three friends in Daniel one. They refused to defile themselves with the king’s meat. After the trial of ten days, the prince of the eunuchs found these young men fairer and fatter than those that ate the king’s food. (Daniel 1:15) God’s ways were better!
When the men stood before King Nebuchadnezzar, he found them in all matters of wisdom and understanding ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm. (Daniel 1:20) If you asked Daniel, “How did that happen?” He wouldn’t pat himself on the back or take a deep bow, he would point upwards to the God of heaven Who granted them the wisdom they needed.
The wisdom you and I need today will not come from our own wits, but from the God Who gives to all men liberally (ten times better). The ordering of events that we need to take place will be ten times better if we remove our own weak hands and allow God to intervene. We must do what Daniel did, however; we must be obeying all that we know God has told us to do (after blessing comes obedience). Then we let God work. Afterwards, when things turn out ten times better, we must give Him all the praise, for He alone is worthy!
What do you need to see God do? Trust Him for the “Ten times better” things He is able to do!
