Scripture:
“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.” Daniel 6:3 NLT
Observation:
Daniel was a deported captive in Babylon, yet God raised him up to influence the nation. He worked directly with several kings in Babylon during the captivity of his own people. It says here that because of Daniel’s great ability, the king was going to place him over the entire empire. Daniel excelled in his gifts and remained faithful to God and God raised him up and have him great authority and influence. He was tried and tested, yet favor was strong on his life.
Application:
God’s favor can do things for you that nothing else can do. God’s favor can change people’s perception of you and cause you to prosper in the midst of deportation and captivity. God still blesses His people and causes them to be influencers. When God knows He can trust you, He will elevate you and open doors for you. You will be tested, but if you remain faithful in the tests, God will promote you in His kingdom and in positions in this earthly world.
Prayer:
Father, help me to live a life You can bless. Help me to remain faithful when tested and tried. Teach me to walk with You closely, no matter what comes against me. Give me Your favor and let Your will be done in my life. Show me how to lead well and to lead with exceptional abilities because You are with me. I look to You. Show me how to live a life You can bless.
Yours Forever,
Jeff
