**Daniel 5:8** — *"So all the king's wise men came in, but they could not read the inscription or tell the king what it meant."*
Belshazzar's hall fell silent. Every credential in the empire stood present — and not one could speak to what God had written.
This is the limit of human wisdom without divine illumination. The wise men of Babylon were not foolish men. They were the best the kingdom could offer. Yet the hand of God outpaced every system they had built to understand the world.
Daniel 2:20 echoes here: *"Wisdom and power belong to God."* Not as a comfort — as a boundary marker.
Scripture reminds us that the wisest steward is not the one who accumulates the most insight, but the one who remains humble enough to receive what only God can reveal.
Walk with that posture today — credential in hand, ego set aside, ready to hear what no academy could teach you.
