Honor name of the Lord in season or out of season

Daniel 5:1-12
So they brought in the gold goblets that had been taken from the temple of God in Jerusalem, and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines drank from them.
Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lamp stand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it wrote. His face turned pale and he was so frightened that his legs became weak and his knees were knocking.
Daniel, was found to have a keen mind and knowledge and understanding, and also the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles and solve difficult problems. Call for Daniel, and he will tell you what the writing means.
The queen: As Belshazzar's wives were there already., this may have been queen mother. Nebuchadnezzar's wife.
Strictly speaking, Nabonidurs was the last king of Babylon. he retired to Arabia early in his reign, leaving his son Butelshazzar acting in Babylon.
The date is 539, 23 years after Nebuchadnezar's death. The great feast at the palace is going with a swing, when a mysterious hand begins to write on the wall.
Why?
Butelshazzar made detestable thing that brought the gold goblets that had been taken from the temple of God in Jerusalem. So the angry of the Lord came, and wrote the words on the wall of palace.
Daniel was famous to that generation, and even he is getting older he has a keen(敏銳) mind and knowledge and understanding and the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles and solve difficult problems. 
God can change a king of kingdom in his time. 
Be prepared keep good spirit in the Lord no matter in season or out of season.
Do I have the keen mind and knowledge and understanding and the ability to serve the Lord? 
How?
I am not the Daniel, but if God permit I can have the ability to serve the Lord in other ways. Not for me but to honor name of the Lord.
