A Standard to Live By.
I was reading in Daniel and came across the oft-quoted lion's den story. What stood out to me this morning was the jealousy of the other administrators because of Daniel's success. They determined to find something against him, but after careful study could not:
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 do with the law of his God."
What an awesome statement of Daniel's character, that they could find nothing against him excepting his faith in God, which conflicted with the practice at the time of worshiping the king and other various gods. That is something to strive for!
