Could You Withstand Intense Scrutiny?
Is the Bible relevant?
Well, what do you know about Daniel? He had such a sterling character that people noticed his character and complimented him. Daniel refused to take credit for his successes, but rather passed on the fact that he served God when all of his enemies started micro analyzing his life to find shortfalls or sins, they found none.
How many people do you know that could pass that kind of intense scrutiny? God was able to use him in ways that he could use no one else. Little wonder that the King appointed Daniel as the leader over his entire kingdom. It's hard to hide integrity. It doesn't mean that you have to be perfect to be useful to God.
If that were the case, no one would be able to serve him. But it does mean that when you unite humility and integrity, you create an unbeatable formula for successful service. Our world needs people who are sincere, honest and loyal. Always has. Always will.
