Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his...He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him (Daniel 2:20-22).
King Nebuchadnezzar once had a dream none of his wise men could interpret. This got him troubled and distressed, and he threatened to execute them unless they told him the dream and the interpretation. In their response, they said to the king "...There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter:...there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean. And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh" (Daniel 2:10-11).
However, Daniel boldly stepped forward and asked the king to give him a chance. He got his friends together to fast and pray, and God showed him the king's dream and its interpretation. When Daniel revealed the king's dream and the interpretation, everyone began to say of him that he had an excellent spirit. The Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of wisdom, is that excellent spirit. He's the one who grants us insight into realities, mysteries and secrets.
You don't have to walk in darkness or ignorance concerning the future. The Holy Spirit is your light; He guides you through the Word in the path that you should go. He came to teach you all things, guide you into all truth, and show you the future (John 16:13). The Lord Jesus said in Luke 8:10, "Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God." You're chosen of God to know the mysteries of the Kingdom.
The more you acknowledge and recognize the person and ministry of the Holy Spirit in your life, the more He illuminates your mind and grants you extraordinary amplitude to comprehend, discern and interpret all mysteries.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the special ministry of the Holy Spirit in my life today; you've given me an excellent spirit and an understanding mind; therefore I'm able to unravel and interpret mysteries through your excellent wisdom that's at work in me, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Daniel 6:3
Living Bible (TLB)
3 Daniel soon proved himself more capable than all the other presidents and governors, for he had great ability, and the king began to think of placing him over the entire empire as his administrative officer.
1 Corinthians 2:7-10
Living Bible (TLB)
7 Our words are wise because they are from God, telling of God’s wise plan to bring us into the glories of heaven. This plan was hidden in former times, though it was made for our benefit before the world began. 8 But the great men of the world have not understood it; if they had, they never would have crucified the Lord of Glory.
9 That is what is meant by the Scriptures which say that no mere man has ever seen, heard, or even imagined what wonderful things God has ready for those who love the Lord. 10 But we know about these things because God has sent his Spirit to tell us, and his Spirit searches out and shows us all of God’s deepest secrets.
