Here is what the word says about walking in the spirit of excellence. “Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him…” – Daniel 6:3
Daniel’s life stands as a testament to the power of walking in the spirit of excellence. Even in a foreign land, surrounded by pressures to conform. Daniel distinguished himself by his unwavering faith, impeccable discipline, and steadfast integrity. In other words, his excellent spirit was not a result of mere talent or human effort but his relationship with God which distinguished him from others.
To walk in the spirit of excellence means committing to reflect God’s character in every aspect of our lives. Moreover, It involves being faithful in the small things, disciplined in our actions, and uncompromising in our integrity. Thus, Excellence doesn’t mean perfection; instead, we strive consistently to honor God in everything we do. (proverb 22:29).
Furthermore, we cultivate excellence by engaging in daily fellowship with God. Relying on His wisdom and strength, and making deliberate choices to align our lives with His Word. Like Daniel, we are called to stand out. Not for our glory, but so that others may see the greatness of our God through us.
