S – God gave these four young men knowledge and understanding in every kind of literature and wisdom. Daniel also understood visions and dreams of every kind

Daniel 1:17 CSB

O – As these four men honored God, God gave these men exceptional abilities that would be used by the king and grant them favor.  Daniel’s ability to understand dreams will elevate his worth even more.  It is also an indicator of future prophecy he will do later in the book.  

A – We should continue to ask God to increase our knowledge and understanding each day.  Also, we want to elevate our spiritual gifts so the Lord can use us to grow others in their relationship with God.

R – Lord, we want to grow today.  In knowledge, wisdom and understanding.  We also want to grow in our spiritual gifts so we can be a blessing to You and others.  Give us opportunities to use these gifts.  Like our natural muscles, help us get stronger by being used by you in a way that challenges us.  Thank you for using us to fulfill your purposes.
