“STANDING OUT AMONG YOUR CO-WORKERS”
SCRIPTURE READING: Daniel 4:1-9; 6:1-3
EXPOSITION:
In our current dispensation, most Christians behave similarly as the unbelievers do at the various work places and institutions. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish between Christians and non-Christians at formal settings.
In our readings today, we see Daniel distinguishing himself among his other co-workers. Daniel chose to behave differently towards his work. He brought on board different initiatives, prudent decision making, honesty, industriousness and many more unique initiatives.
The excellent Spirit of the Lord was in him and upon him; he led exemplary life to the surprise of the kings Nebuchadnezzar, Darius and the other administrators and satraps. With the uniqueness of Daniel, he obtained favour in the sight of the Kings; such that both of them planned to set him over the whole kingdom.
KEY VERSE:
Daniel 6:3 (NIV) – “Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.”
LIFE APPLICATION:
Brethren in the Lord, today’s devotion teaches us to be unique and exclusive at our various work places and institutions. Let us bring on board new productive ideas, creativity, diligence and integrity. These virtues will help us climb to the top of the organizational structure.
PRAYER:
Almighty God, help me to be unique at my work place and among my co-workers.
