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 person
is right with God, it is a pleasure to be around them. When a 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 Christlike
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.
