It has been a long time since I sat down to write; for those that follow this blog, thank you for checking back.
Heroes are few and far between these days; real heroes. Real heroes are those ordinary men that step up to do extraordinary actions. These are not stars as their actions are not for fame; real heroes are not saving the world in one hour on some television show, heroes leave a legacy of accomplishments not entertain.
Reading the book of Daniel again today, there are a couple of points that forever influence me to live bolder.
1. Daniel resolved to not eat the Kings rich food, but to ask God to bless him and his 3 friends.
2. The walk that is set apart for God is better when joined by buddies.
3. God doesn't share His glory; Daniel did not accept God's glory, but directed everything back to Him.
4. It isn't wrong to find favor in God's eyes or those that He places in positions of power & authority.
There are others, but these are in the first two chapters. To live a life for God is to live it for nobody else.... not even self. Whose your life being lived for? What is important in life to you? Where are you going to spend your time, energy and resources? When are you going to bow your head and your heart to your Creator?
