Day 6: Favor

What kind of person does God trust to place as His representative before kings? Have you ever thought about that before? What does God trust you with? In the middle of the chapter, Daniel was trusting God with everything he had because he was backed into a corner. God came through, and Daniel praised Him for it. Daniel’s character traits of patience, devotion, and humility provided him confidence as he walked in his calling. 

As we peer into Daniel 2:49, we see what Daniel did with the trust that God gave him. Per Daniel’s request, King Nebuchadnezzar appointed Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah as administrators over the province of Babylon. He leveraged his privilege and the favor upon his life to open doors for others. He used his favor to empower others. 

Reflection Questions:

1. What character traits help sustain the calling in your own life?
2. How are you stewarding the favor in your life?
