Daniel 6:1 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom.
If the beast views certain Christians as a liability, let it be for spiritual reasons, but not because we didn’t do our due diligence in temporal matters. When the princes of Babylon exercised prejudice against the prophet Daniel, the only problem they could find in him was prayer. But in all other temporal matters, Daniel came out flawless, for he was not found habitually late on his payments, he was not in arrears with his landlord, and his electric bill and water bill were all on time.
In addition to this, in his political life, he did not tell any lies, he did not embezzle the public funds for his personal gain, and his immediate family members were not found to be beneficiaries of policies that he put in place as president, for he was faithful both in private and public life…. Daniel 6:2 And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.
Daniel 6:4 Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault; because he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him…. In other words, Daniel disarmed prejudice, so that if the other officials insisted on finding fault with him, it would be with his religion, not the temporal issues some Christians in our day so often stumble on.
Daniel 6:3 Then Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
