How UNCOMMON are you?
We flip or scan our Bible to the Book of Daniel and we discover a man who experienced and interpreted uncommon dreams. Dreams that unraveled the secret lives of great leaders. Dreams that gave a glimpse of the destiny of kingdoms.
Daniel the uncommon dreamer was an uncommon man because of a few uncommon qualities(Daniel 1-6):
- He distinguished himself from every other leader around him with his exemplary lifestyle
- There was no corruption in his dealings
- He was trustworthy in his responsibilities
- He was never negligent in his roles
- He was radically obedient to God
- He faithfully prayed three times a day- filled with thanksgiving and asking God’s help in all things
- He unwaveringly trusted God in all things
- He made intentional personal choices that would honor his faith in God.
We are called to be uncommon people who live out uncommon lives in our world.
Like F. B. Meyer said, ‘Don’t waste your time waiting and longing for large opportunities which may never come. But faithfully handle the little things that are always claiming your attention.’
