Faithful like Daniel

I don’t have something really profound that’ll endow some sort of life-changing enlightenment on you, but recently I’ve been learning a lot about faithfulness – maybe something you already know a lot about.  It was really cool though, I got to do a study and then write a paper about what I learned from reading the book of Daniel. All I’ve got to say is that he was an alright guy who did some alright stuff.  Okay, maybe that’s an understatement, and maybe I’ve really got more to say about him.  But really, Daniel was the man!  Throughout the first six chapters, we get to see about sixty years or so of his life.  He was the kind of person that caused kings and rulers to praise God.  He was an exceptional person but it all started with his faithfulness to God.  He was a solid wall of integrity because he actually lived what he believed and let God take care of the rest.  Maybe we wouldn’t have to worry as much about the opportunities we do or don’t have if we focused more on being faithful where God has placed us.  We know that God gives us the desire and the power to do what pleases him, we just have to be faithful to that calling.

Just a thought,

Zachary
