Daniel 6:1-18
Daniel were one of three administrators over 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom. 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.
The administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charge 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.
They said "We will never find any basis of charges against this man Daniel unless it has something to do with the law of his God."
The king likes Daniel but the other administrator envy and jealous Daniel for his distinguish conducts.
Why?
All his life Daniel has been a man of God. He is now in his eighties, and his enemies still cannot fault him. They can only attack him through his religion. Daniel could have stopped praying for a month, or more ready to compromise now than he was as a boy. So his enemies have him. The king's hands are ties by his own decree, but God's hand is not.
Daniel was working in government, he did so distinguished himself, he had not any grounds could be found for charge against him. Daniel was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent.
Daniel respected the king, but he honored the Lord higher than the king.
How?
Learning the faith to God and his trustworthy to his service, he was an example in my life. I hope I could do as Daniel.
