Daniel 6:4 NIV
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.
During king darius’s reign, Daniel the administrator was the envy of all the other satraps and administrators for the king wanted to set him over the whole kingdom. Thus, those colleagues started plotting and trying to find fault in him. However, they couldn’t find any wrong in him that can be used against him, for Daniel was a trustworthy man, neither corrupt nor negligent in his work. For me, I think as people that holds a job, Daniel makes an excellent role model. We can learn from him by being excellent in our work, of good conduct, trustworthy and without corruption, yet upholding God’s standards and making sure that people know who is the God that we worship, magnifying God’s name at every opportunity. For Daniel it was to the point of entering the Lion’s Den to show God’s faithfulness and power.
Father in heaven, teach us to be like Daniel, but more than that to be like Jesus, a worshipper of God that man can find no fault in us in our families, workplaces, schools and anywhere that we go, let our testimony be consistent with the works of our hands. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
