Proving God's Faithfulness

John MacArthur: This is John MacArthur with more Portraits of Grace. How do you think you would do if you were deported to another country at the age of 14 or 15 and forced to learn another culture? Well, that's what happened to Daniel and his three companions when they were taken captive to Babylon. Yet after three years of training, they were ranked 10 times better than all the wise men in the kingdom and became the king's personal servants. What made them superior? It was their character and the faithful provision of their God who granted them special knowledge, special intelligence, and wisdom.

They were so righteous and wise that those who didn't believe in God acknowledged the excellence of their lives. They were teenagers. That's the kind of impact God wants you to have, and he has provided every spiritual resource for you to do so. Live with integrity, and you'll become a portrait of grace.
