Read: Daniel 6:1-9

The governors and satraps sought
to find some charge against
Daniel…but they could find no
charge or fault. -Daniel 6:4

Daniel’s life revealed the reality of his faith. He conducted
himself so honorably in his high office that Darius "gave thought
to setting him over the whole realm" (Dan. 6:3).

The other presidents and princes, however, were jealous and began to
devise means of getting rid of Daniel. But hard as they tried, they
could find nothing in his life to use against him. The Bible says that
"he was faithful; nor was there any error or fault found in
him" (v.4).

What a record! What a testimony! He was loyal and conscientious on
the job – all the while giving God first place. Daniel’s life was so
far above reproach that his enemies had to create a situation in which
his commitment to God would come into conflict with his government
position.

Would we stand up under close examination like that? Are we so
faithful in our work that our fellow employees could "find no
charge or fault" in us? It’s commendable to witness for Christ.
But consider the influence of a godly life and a job so faithfully
performed that others could find no fault. That would silence the
critics and glorify God.

Like Daniel, we should be blameless in our behavior. Then we too
will have works that witness! -Richard W. De Haan

The task Your wisdom has assigned,
Lord, let me cheerfully
fulfill;
In all my works Your presence find,
And prove Your good
and perfect will. -Anon

WHEN YOU DO YOUR WORK FAITHFULLY,
YOUR FAITH WILL BE SEEN AT
WORK.
