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.” Daniel 6:5
This verse jumped off the screen and grabbed my attention this morning during my daily reading. Oh how I wish that could be said of me!
Going into this New Year, my mind is crammed full of thoughts about changes we want to make as a family: simplify, declutter, be healthy, give more, love more, go deeper, work harder, grow in wisdom. There is so much refining that needs to be done in my life. So many things to learn….and things I’ve learned that I need to put into practice.
I’m going to make it my goal to live in such a way that no one can find any ground for complaint against me unless they find it in connection with the obedience to my God. I’m guessing it’s going to be a very long-term goal…maybe by the time I have grandkids?!?
me too SISTER! Amen amen amen!!!
Thank you for this, Amy! We all need to strive for this and I am trying so hard right now. My struggles are big in this moment, but I am finding that my God is bigger! I love the verse you gave. Awesome word, girl! Love, Julie
What a great thought! I need to be reminded of this. Thanks for sharing!
Honey I don’t think it’ll even be then…Even Paul tells us “I hate that which I do…” So don’t feel like you are somehow NOT doing the right thing 😉 I see you as a strong and Godly woman. As my pastor likes to say, “We all have falling shorts.”
