              A professional young man was interviewing for a position in
a thriving business. He had a well-kept appearance and made a good first
impression on the owner. He was well prepared and brought in a top-notch
resume in which he listed references including his pastor, his Bible study
teacher, and a church deacon-all who knew him well.

                  
                 
                         
                        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 
                       
                 
                 
                 
            The business owner, also a Christian unbeknownst to the young
man, studied the resume carefully for several minutes and then said, "Young
man, I appreciate these recommendations from the people who know you well
in your church. However, what I would really like is a word of
recommendation from people who know you during the week as well."

            Unfortunately, oftentimes there is a big difference in the
way people live their lives on Sunday compared to the rest of the week.
People tend to act differently in a church service from what they do out in
the real world. But the truth is, the principles and biblical truths we
hear and determine to act out on Sunday should also be practiced throughout
the week.

            Daniel was a perfect example of being consistent in his
relationship with both God and man. As mentioned in the verse above, his
enemies tried to find some fault with him, but none could be found. Would
your church friends be shocked to find you living your life completely
differently from how you live on Sunday morning? The old adage is often
true: "Actions speak louder than words." Determine to live a consistent
Christian life on Sunday and every other day of the week. 
            Prayer Challenge
            Ask the Lord to help you walk consistently with Him all
throughout the week. Pray that your life would be a daily witness to others
who don't know Jesus until you meet Him again one day.
