Seek God In Faith!
"Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors
and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and
the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm."
Daniel 6: 3
Modern labor, or trade, unions have their origin in eighteenth-century
Britain’s Industrial Revolution. In order to represent workers’ interests
to management, labor unions
formed. To facilitate the communication
of workers’ interests, unions elected a shop steward to speak on their
behalf. The stewards are people who speak or act on behalf of others
and facilitate their interests.
The prophet Daniel was one of three administrators, or stewards,
appointed by King Darius to represent interests to 120 regional
administrators (Daniel 6:1-2). Daniel was so faithful that Darius
planned to promote him as overseer of his entire kingdom.
Daniel exhibited the chief characteristic of stewards as noted
by the apostle Paul: faithfulness (1 Corinthians 4:2). Every
Christian is a steward of the gifts and grace of God. As
such, our chief responsibility is to be found faithful.
At your job, in your home, in your personal
life, in your church—faithfulness is what
God seeks in every situation.
"Spiritual advancement is
measured by faithful obedience."
Watchman Nee
