As we go about our lives do we stop to think about the legacy that we are leaving behind for the next generation. It may be good or bad. I believe one such person that left a great legacy during the captivity of the people of Israel is Daniel. He worked well with the king and influenced the king to honor God.
Ezra 1:3 Who is among you of all His people? May his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord God of Israel (He is God), which is in Jerusalem.
Cyrus was prepared to rebuild the temple that was burned down and return all the articles that were taken from the temple by Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel's faith lived out in the king's court resulted in such incredible favor. He certainly did not shy from talking about God.
Father, help me not be ashamed of the gospel. Let it be demonstrated through my life and presented with great openness and vigor.
