Daniel 6:3 Daniel soon proved himself more capable than all the other administrators and high officers. Because of Daniels great ability, the king made plans to place him over the entire empire. Daniel is a man in the Bible who is described as having an excellent spirit. He lived to glorify God with his life, no matter what it cost him. Daniel loved God and was unwavering in his commitment to serve Him. As a result, God gave him favor with the king, which led to his promotion over the other leaders in the land. But his commitment to God was tested. The leaders didnt like that the king favored Daniel. So they manipulated the king to sign a decree that prohibited anyone from praying to any god other than the king for 30 days. Violating the decree meant being thrown into a den of lions. Daniel didnt cave in to this decree, he was more concerned about keeping his commitment to God. If you know the story, you know God protected him and was glorified in the end. I want to encourage you to live with that same excellent spirit. Be determined to really live for God. As we do, well fulfill our true purpose and glorify God in everything we do, just like Daniel. Lord, I commit myself to a life of excellence, just like Daniel. Instill an excellent spirit in me, so that I may serve You unwaveringly in all that I do.
