We do well when we imitate the work habits of Daniel.
I’m talking about the Daniel who lived 2,600 years ago in what is now Iraq.
Some of you have read about his life in the Bible book that bears his name.
If you haven’t, I encourage you to do so and learn how to become a better person.
I was reminded this morning of what set Daniel apart from others in his workplace.
“Then the other administrators and high officers began searching for some fault in the way Daniel was handling government affairs, but they couldn’t find anything to criticize or condemn. He was faithful, always responsible, and completely trustworthy.” (Daniel 6:5)
You’ve probably experienced firsthand what it’s like to have people trying to undercut you because your job performance or workplace attitude is better than theirs.
This is a common occurrence around the world.
It is a periodic byproduct of our being the people God wants us to be.
Simply put, it sometimes goes with the territory. Some of you might be facing fault-finders just now at your job.
Please, keep being faithful.
Keep being responsible.
Always.
Be completely responsible.
It might get tougher for you before it gets better, but the schemes of others will eventually come back against them and God will bless you if you keep trusting Him.
And God will be praised even more.
Daniel’s life proves it.
As always, I love you
Martin
