Recently, I have been
thinking about Daniel. I have read it several times and have become impressed
with Daniel’s approach to his life and service to God. The book starts with his country being invaded, he is taken captive, and then trained by his captors to be at their service. To be in the king’s service came with perks, but he was not a free man. He was required (forced) to help his enemy advance their kingdom. He faces death several times, his co-works don’t like him, and his boss is extreme unreasonable to put it mildly. (Daniel 2:1-5) (Daniel 3:6, and Daniel 6:4) How the book reads, he faces death each time with a calm and detached manner. He allows God to be God and have His way. He conducts himself in a way that shows that he is a servant of God and serves at His will, no matter what. I am asking myself, do I serve God in this way? I do when He has my full attention.
