THE DAILY BLUEPRINT 2/3/11
The Book Of Daniel (part 8)
DANIEL 2:49
Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the council chamber of the king.
Daniel is a good example for all of us to follow - while he became next in line to the king - he didn't allow it to cause him to get a big head - his power was granted from God and Daniel knew that - without God he knew he was nothing - so why get a big head he thought - the same can be said about leaders rather it be of corporations or of counties - being humble must be part of it - how many world leaders have allowed pride to take them down - great men who entered government positions often leave their faith behind for the thirst for power -Daniel didn't have this issue - sure the temptation was there but Daniel loved God more then the power he got from God and he used the power to bring God glory! What about us - you may say you are not a leader of anything - but oh you are - people are watching you -when you claim Christ as your Savior - the world begins to watch to see if it's real - to see if we REALLY Believe it! We must be sure to walk in the light of Christ at all times - sure temptation will come and we won't always be able to stand up against it - but if we fail we need to get back up on our feet and try again -serving God is not easy but it's the best life of all - Daniel knew this - and instead of using his power for personal gain -Daniel used it to serve God - we can learn a lot from Daniel!
WORD TO THE WISE:
Have you been put in a position over others? If so it would do you good to remember that without any trouble at all GOD could take it all away from you - live life that way - remember where you came from and where you are going!
BECAUSE OF
CHRIST
THE POWER WE HAVE IS FROM GOD
BUILDING ON THE WORD for 2/3/11
THINK YOU ARE POWERFUL? YOU'RE NOTHING COMPARED TO GOD!
