FINDING FAULT
Today's reading: Daniel 1-6

"Daniel soon proved himself more capable than all the other administrators and princes. Because of his great ability, the king made plans to place him over the entire empire. Then the other administrators and princes began to search 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." Daniel 6:3-4 NLT

I'll admit, I've thought for the majority of my time in the Word that Daniel was noted for being brave in the face of some hungry lions.

I'm reminded, as I read these verses, that his courage was probably more noticeable when he was at work among the 'guys in the office' than in the den of lions!

On a day-to-day basis.

Monday through Friday.

During office hours.

May be the same for you.

While you are in and among the world.

When you are away from home, church and Christian friends(and sadly, maybe when you are with your church family and Christian friends).

The whole time you are shining for God, there are those who want to snuff your little light out.

Let them find nothing to criticize. Allow them to always find you faithful, honest and responsibly handling this Truth you carry within you.
