TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
But Daniel, brimming with spirit and intelligence, so completely outclassed the other vice-regents and governors that the king decided to put him in charge of the whole kingdom. – Daniel 6:3, MSG
TODAY’S WORD
Notice in today’s Scripture that it doesn’t say God distinguished Daniel and he got promoted. It says Daniel distinguished himself by completely outclassing the other leaders. That’s what happens when you honor God and have an excellent spirit as Daniel did. You don’t compromise. You don’t just go with the flow and do what everyone else is doing.
When you have an excellent spirit, God will give you unprecedented favor, creativity, and ideas so that, as with Daniel, you will stand out in the crowd. In humility, you will outclass those who don’t honor God. My question is, Are you distinguishing yourself and not waiting for God to do it? Are you doing more than you have to and improving your skills? Examine your life.
We all have areas in which we can strive for excellence, whether it’s how we treat people, how we present ourselves, or how we develop our skills. You are called to be a cut above. You have excellence inside. It’s who you are. Now do your part and be disciplined to bring out your excellence.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that You didn’t make me to just go with the flow and do what everyone else is doing. Thank You that I can commit myself to striving for excellence in all I do. I believe that as I honor You with my choices, You will cause me to stand out and shine for Your glory. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
