“Then this Daniel became distinguished above all the other high officials and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him. And the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. Then the high officials and the satraps sought to find a ground for complaint against Daniel with regard to the kingdom, but they could find no ground for complaint or any fault, because he was faithful, and no error or fault was found in him. Then these men said, “We shall not find any ground for complaint against this Daniel unless we find it in connection with the law of his God.” Then these high officials and satraps came by agreement to the king and said to him, “O King Darius, live forever! All the high officials of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the counselors and the governors are agreed that the king should establish an ordinance and enforce an injunction, that whoever makes petition to any god or man for thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.
Then they answered and said before the king, “Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or the injunction you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.””

All,
This stands out because the men said, “We shall not find any ground for complaint against this Daniel unless we find it in connection with the law of his God.” There will always be challenges to anything God wants you to do. The challenges will always seem like the “good” thing to do from a secular prospective, but may not be God’s purpose. Please pray that we and our friends seek God’s purpose and trust in His guidance. Please pray for Steve as he considers how CLC may help his issue.
