“I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for He is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and His dominion shall be even unto the end. He delivereth and rescueth, and He worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, Who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.” Daniel 6:26-27 KJV. What amazing words these are from an unbelieving, heathen king. After Daniel was miraculously delivered from the lion’s den, king Darius gave honor and praise to God publicly. He recognized that God has power and might far exceeding anything he had seen. But let us realize, all of this was simply because Daniel was FAITHFUL to God. Daniel didn’t preach a sermon or have some special religious event. He didn’t write some letter that set all of this in motion. All he did was continue being FAITHFUL just as he had been doing. Faithfulness is one of the things lightly esteemed by this current religious generation. Today, almost all of the emphasis is upon the things we can do publicly. But we so easily forget, what we are is far more important than what we do. All of the outward activities will mean little if we are not FAITHFUL to God. As we are faithful to God in our daily lives God will use that influence to touch others just like He did with Daniel. And being faithful is something we all can be. By God’s grace, let us be faithful in the daily, little things and God will use them for His glory.
