Daniel and his peers were reared in the very worst of times. Their nation was apostate. Jerusalem, their capital city lay in ruins, as did their temple, and they were exiles in a heathen country. Yet they became the very best of men. Men of unimpeachable character, moral strength and spiritual integrity! Even in those desperate times God had a righteous remnant and under the very worst of conditions He produced the very best of men.

“ (they) tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel…but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent.”

–Daniel 6:4 (NIV 1984)

Lord Jesus in these desperate times raise up men and women of moral strength and spiritual integrity. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
