Faithful

"Then the high officials and the satraps sought to find a ground for complaint against Daniel with regard to the kingdom, but they could find no ground for complaint or any fault, because he was faithful, and no error or fault was found in him."

Daniel 6:4

One of best things of growing up in a small town is you get to see the simplicity of things. My church growing up wasn't filled with scholars or great theologians. But it was filled with amazing men and women of God who simply loved the Lord with all their heart , mind and strength. They may not know how to read or write, they may not know a lot of things of the world, but they know the heart of God and they give God their all. Every time I think about them I am so overwhelmed by the honour of growing up with them , those who poured into me and continue to cover me in prayers. Servants of the Most High King. Im so humbled by God's favour.

Being faithful. Daniel and the lions den is one of the most love sunday school stories of all. Daniel 6:4 says the high officials and satraps tried to find a ground for complaint against Daniel but they couldn't because he was faithful ! All that God had entrusted to him , he did it faithfully. 

He always prayed to the Lord 3 times a day. Now when the decree had come saying people were not supposed to pray to any other god beside the king, we read in verse 10 , "When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem. He got down on his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously."

Faithful. Circumstances never dictated his time with God. Even a law that would have him be put to death never deterred him. And we all know the amazing things that followed after. Out of the faithfulness of the little God will rise things as a testimony to a nation. 

In honouring God above everything else, great things will overflow. If the devil tries to deter us from our daily time with God, take it as a hint... There's something powerful thats there and he doesn't want you to have it.  

I pray by His grace we will be found faithful. Faithful in seeking His face and walking in His ways. Its about knowing His heart.

God Bless
