Lifted through Loyalty – Man as Provider
Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face and paid homage to Daniel, and commanded that an offering and incense be offered up to him. The king answered and said to Daniel, “Truly, your God is God of gods and Lord of kings, and a revealer of mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this mystery.” Then the king gave Daniel high honors and many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon and chief prefect over all the wise men of Babylon. Daniel made a request of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon. But Daniel remained at the king's court. Daniel 2:46-49 ESV
George Shultz, secretary of state under President Ronald Reagan, would invite the new ambassadors into his office, one at a time, for a five to ten minute chat. Secretary Shultz reportedly would say:
“OK, Mr. Ambassador or Madame Ambassador, you’ve passed all the tests. You’ve been confirmed by the Senate and you’ve passed your security investigation. You’ve done all the things to get the position of ambassador, but you have to pass my test. I have one more for you.” And he’d take them over in the Secretary’s office to where there was this massive globe, and he’d say, “I’m going to spin the globe and I want you to put your hand on your country.” Shultz would tell this story, and he said, “Every single one of them failed. But I let them go anyway.” Because whenever he spun the globe and he’d say, “I want you to put your hand on your country,” they’d always put their hand on the country that they were going out to. His point was your country is the United States.
Daniel was also assigned to serve in a foreign country, a nation that was hostile to the faith he held. The rulers he worked under were some of ancient history’s most powerful, ruthless, and egotistical kings. To fail or contradict these monarchs could mean death. In this chapter, Daniel, his three friends, and all the wise men of Babylon were threatened with death if they could not reveal the contents and interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream (see verses 5-13).
