There are some verses in Daniel 6 that hit me hard last week and became apart of my daily prayers.
"Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him..." (v.3)
"...they could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful, nor was there any error or fault found in him." (v.5)
I've been praying for an excellent spirit and that there be no fault found in my character.
And most of all, that my life would be a testimony just as Daniel's was.
I truly love how Daniel's life and character impacted King Darius.
The morning after having him thrown in the lions' den, he "made haste" to the den, and yelled "Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?"
What a great testimony! Daniel's life was so consistent that the king referred to Him as the God that Daniel "served continually."
Because of Daniel's walk with God, the king knew that He wasn't just an idol, but the "living God" and he was absolutely eaten up with curiosity to see if his God actually had the power to save.
I think the world still wonders the same thing.
No matter WHAT we are thrown INTO, may our lives demonstrate that "He delivers and rescues." (v.27)
