But they could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful; nor was there any error or fault found in him. – Daniel 6:4
Wow! This verse fascinates me. It's incredible! The Bible does not say this of very many men. In fact, I can only think of random instances (such as Job 1:8). To be able to lead such a life... Wow! That's quite a feat. That is genuine integrity right there. Daniel led a very public life. After all, he was involved in politics. Politics is certainly one of the most difficult arenas in which to remain whole. Integrity and politics are not often coupled. The awesome thing is they could only nail him in his private life. They had to cook up a whole diabolical scheme to manipulate the king into their plans.

My wish is that I may live a life of such integrity that if I am ever to be condemned of anything it is in my privacy, that is, my intimacy with God. Now, more than ever, I will be facing stress and the devil will take advantage of that to strain me so far that I might snap. Don’t! There will be people who will be watching. They will look at meand try to criticize me. Don’t let them. Keep yourself in integrity that way they will have nothing to complain of.
