"And in every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his kingdom." -- Daniel 1:20

While working my way through Bible College, the plant where I had a job always looked for students from our school. The reason was quite simple: our daily production was always twice the amount of the other shifts. The students were faithful workers for the Lord and His blessing came upon them and the business.

When we honor the Lord He blesses us in many ways. Such blessings will often overflow into the lives of others. This is all part of a living testimony. The impact that Daniel and his friends made lasted through many years and administrations. Making a difference in our world begins with being different for the Lord.

My friend, are you conformed to the world or to the Lord? Is your lifestyle so distinct and honoring to the Lord that it brings blessing to you and others? The world is often drawn to those who are true to their convictions, and eventually drawn to their Lord. Does your lifestyle draw others to the Lord?
