Scripture for today:
Daniel 5; Daniel 6; Psalm 130; Luke 3
Scripture-My special verse today:
Daniel 6:4
4 At this, the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent. 5 Finally these men said, “We will never find any basis for charges against this man Daniel unless it has something to do with the law of his God.”
Observation: Daniel had such a clean record that the Administrators were clueless in how to find fault in him. Their efforts remind me of Jesus in how the religious leaders came up with weak accusations. This shows the extent of the level that evil plays in trying to destroy people for no reason at all.
Application: As I try to live for God and keep my motives pure, their are those that seek to destroy me. Politicians are seeking in the fall of 2008 to bring down there opponents with false accusations. These verses challenge me in my longing to serve Christ it has its opponents waiting for the opportune moment.
Prayer: Make sure my motives for serving Christ come from Christ not my ambitions.
