Grace for your spirit
But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the king's choice food or with the wine which he drank. Daniel 1:8
As a captive in Babylon, Daniel and his friends would face many challenges against their Godly upbringing. They would be challenged with food laws, language, literature, worship, and even a change of their names. Rather than fortifying themselves to face these challenges, they could have spent their time thinking up excuses for why they couldn't be faithful to God. They were young, they were captives far from home, they could be punished severely,and they could miss great opportunities as future leaders. They decided to do what was right instead. When we are faced with challenges, do we spend our effort thinking of good reasons why we can't comply, or do we begin practicing ways to be faithful to God. God gave them victory for their commitment. What does He have for us?
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
