Excellence from God

Lady of Light

In Daniel, Chapter 6:1-3, it describes the government under the rule of King Darius of Babylon:

"It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes which should be over the whole kingdom; 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. Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes because of an excellent spirit was in him and the king thought to set him over the whole realm."

We know from reading the book of Daniel that Daniel had a special relationship with God. As you can see from these verses, Daniel was favored because of the excellent spirit which was in him which was a gift of God. All of us who are Christians have the Holy spirit of God and can do excellent things in whatever realm he places us.
Like Daniel, you can be preferred because people are aware of the spirit in you and how you perform your duties and come across to people. God places us in many different positions and circumstances and like Daniel, we should strive for excellence in whatever we do and we will be blessed.

We have all met people who have a bad attitude or a spiritual difficulty. It is easy to sense a difference when you are around these kinds of people. These people need to be prayed for and we need to be thankful for the spirit in us which causes us to "pursue peace" and excellence.

Do your best in whatever position or circumstance you are in and you will be blessed like Daniel.

Have a great day!

Lady of Light
