Integrity Is Consistent

John MacArthur: This is John MacArthur. Join me for today's Portraits of Grace. When you think about it, all nations come and go, but God's plans continue as he uses people of biblical integrity to carry out those plans. Daniel was such a man. He served in Babylon for 70 years under three different kings, and each one recognized him as a man of unique wisdom and honor and integrity. The last of those three, King Darius, appointed Daniel as prime minister over his entire kingdom. Eventually, he issued a decree for the Jews, Daniel's people, to return to their homeland, which ended the 70 years of Babylonian captivity.

I believe that decree was the result of Daniel's wisdom and personal influence. Through his faithfulness, we learn that God accomplishes his plans regardless of human authorities. Despite any political or social change, the Lord will use you to accomplish his purposes if you're faithful.
