The study book of Daniel continues.
DANIEL WAS A MAN
OF PURITY
His opponents
could not find any fault on him. He was faultless when it came to management of
his business affairs. This would help his rise to position of great responsibility
and power. Of course,
his purity in business affairs was related to;
his purity in business affairs was related to;
1. His overall
purpose to please God first
2. The fact that
a man of principle he could be trusted.
The Christian is also to maintain
purity of conduct. Whether young or old, don’t let anyone look down on you
because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in
conduct, in love, in faith and in purity- 1 Tim4:12. Whether slave or free as
in Titus 2:9-10- Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to
try to please them, not to talk back to them, and not to steal from them, but
to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the
teaching about God our Savior attractive.
People who maintain purity in their
dealings with others are often given positions of great responsibility and
privilege, because they can be trusted to use them wisely. Yes, Daniel was a
man of purpose, principle, and purity (and how the world needs more like him!).
But the element that likely tied all these together in such a way to receive
blessings from God and favor from man.
Peace be unto you
