Daniel's leadership

May 25, 2014

Three years of teaching through the OT in Sunday School and we finally made it to Daniel in the lions' den today. It's easy to trivialize this as just a story from Sunday school, but if we elected men like Daniel, how different our governments would be today. And if we were more like Daniel ourselves, how different our churches and families would be today.


"Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. 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. Finally these men said, "We will never find any basis for charges against this man Daniel unless it has something to with the law of his God." ~Daniel 6
