Dan. 6:4
The the other administrators and princes began searching for some fault
in the way Daniel was handling his affairs, but they couldn’t find anything to
criticize. He was faithful and honest
and always responsible.
It should be our goal to be like Daniel. Daniel was so righteous that others could
find nothing in him to criticize. He was
faithful and honest and always responsible.
Being that kind of a person is not an easy task. First of all, it requires an unshakable devotion
to God. Daniel was not caught up in the
world, nor did he have worldly aspirations.
He just wanted to live a life that was pleasing to God.
Faithfulness is a great quality to find in people. Faithful people are trustworthy. You can always count on them to be who they
really are. They can be counted on to
act within their character. There are no
surprises when you are dealing with faithful people; what you see is what you
get. When a faithful person is right
with God, it is a pleasure to be around them.
When a faithful person is not right with God, you can expect from them
sinful acts, attitudes, and talk.
One of the things that set Daniel apart from others was his
honesty. He could always be counted on
to treat others fairly. If he was wrong,
he did not try to hide it. He admitted
it when he messed up and took full responsibility for his actions. He was not too proud to admit his
shortcomings to himself or others. He
was a good man; no one could find fault with him.
Do you dare to be a Daniel?
It should be our goal to live such lives of integrity that no one can
find fault with us. Now, no one can be
perfect. No one can be so good that
others will never find fault with us.
But, we can strive to be the best Christ-like person we can be. When we are living in Christ, others should
be able to count on us to do what is right, they should always be able to say
that we are honest in our dealings, and they should be able to know that we
take responsibility for our behavior and attitudes.
