Daniel’s Attributes: Unashamed Boldness; Uncommon Standard; Unearthly Protection; Unhindered Persistence; Unblemished Faith; Unusual Test; Immeasurable Blessing; Unlimited Influence”
(Edwin Cole)
As Dr. Cole states we need to add this to our arsenal of attributes as we become strong men of God. As Daniel took a stand against the Decree of King Darius and worshiped God he was cast into the Lyons den. The Angel of the Lord delivered him from the mouth of the Lyon, we to can have the covering of the Holy Spirit to lead us into all righteousness and deliver us from conditions that arise in our daily lives. All these attributes were noticed by God and he showed his graced. In the epistle of 2 Peter 1:5-8 these verses point out through our Diligence we add more attributes that will bring us to strength and build us up to stand ad bear the fruits of the spirit in our lives and influence others by the power of the Holy Spirit.
2 Peter 1:5-9
Fruitful Growth in the Faith
5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
NKJV
I look forward to getting closer to my Brothers in the Lord and growing together to be what God has planned for each and everyone that comes to stand.
God Bless
