Dear Sparkies! I was just teaching about Daniel and his three friends and I thought there might be some nice learning pointers for us! You see, Daniel and his three friends had much lesser food (only veggies and water) then the rest, but because they obeyed God, God made them stronger than the rest. Eventually, they also managed to gain the trust and support of the upper management, mainly Ashpenaz and King Nebuchadnezzar.

What can we learn from this?

Extra resources does not always mean extra results.
Lesser resources does not always mean lesser results.
Resources aren’t always proportionate to Result, and God never fails those who trust in Him and obey His word!

Also, just because we are on the right track doesn’t always mean we will get support from upper management! Amount of support should never be a gauge for whether we are on the right path or not. But what is sure is, if we are on the right path, eventually we will garner support from wherever we need it!

Lastly, even though Daniel’s direct supervisors were wrong for not trusting Daniel, Daniel was neither rude nor disrespectful. He gave his supervisors the respect that came with the appointed position. He conversed with them nicely and never once did he force his way through.

So yea I know we don’t exactly have the best of instruments. Yea we don’t have the best of sound equipment, yea we don’t have the best of support from the upper management, but we do have a God that works! And that's what matters!



I love you all from the bottom of my heart as always!
