SCRUTINIZED

"at this , the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, 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

What would happen if your enemies set out to find every damaging piece of information they could about you? what if they followed you to see where you spent your time? what if they tapped your phone and eavesdropped on your conversations? what if they interviewed your classmates or coworkers, looking for someone with some dirt on you? would they come up with embarrassing information?

that's what Daniel's enemies tried to do. They desperately wanted to dig up some incriminating evidence on him to make him lose his job. Daniel had nothing to fear, the worst thing they could come up with was that he PRAYED a lot!

There is incredible freedom in living a clean life. It eliminates the need to keep secrets or to worry about what might be exposed. it removes the vice grip that guilt can hold on your conscience. perhaps you have already done things that, if revealed, would cause you shame. ALTHOUGH YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE PAST, YOU CAN START FRESH TODAY. ask God to forgive your past sins and help you to begin a life of absolute integrity. each time you face a questionable decision, ask yourself this question:
"would i be ashamed if what I'm about to do were made public?" if you choose to live pure life, you will enjoy the tremendous freedom that comes with it.


God bless us!!!
