Scripture:
Daniel 6:3 "Daniel soon proved himself more capable than all the other administrators and high officers. Because of Daniel's great ability, the king made plans to place him over the entire empire".
Observation:
This is the third kingdom Daniel had served under. He was raised up in each of them as he worked hard and remained faithful to the Lord. Not only was he raised up personally and given high ranking positions because of his diligence and faithfulness, he also brought incredible honor the Lord because the Kings he served all saw the hand of God in his life. He made God look good and caused kings to turn to the Lord.
Application:
Daniel was a hard worker and must have had an amazing attitude. He was serving in a kingdom that was not his own and that didn't honor his God. He was personally given a death sentence twice and God brought him through both of them. Both times the king of the nation saw the hand of God and made proclamations about how awesome Daniel's God was. If we are hard workers, diligent and people who seek the Lord, He will raise us up and allow us to sit in influential places. We must have the attitude and heart of Daniel. We must honor God above all and no matter what. When we work hard and have a great attitude, God will use us for His glory.
Prayer:
Father, You are amazing! You are the best and I love you. Help me to be more like Daniel. I want my life to bring you praise and honor. Help me live a life of being a hard worker and having a great attitude. I want to bring glory to Your name above all.
Your Son,
Jeff
