“Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself
with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank.”
-DANIEL 1:8
The
easiest thing to do is to just go along with things, accept them
as they are, and not make any trouble. But thank God for that decision!
Daniel purposed in his heart – a flame was kindled, and the longer he
thought about it, the hotter the fire burned.
While
the others were eating and drinking, Daniel motioned to his three
friends, and whispered, “Eat mine if you will have it – but I will not
sin against the Lord in this thing!” And the three brothers, Hananiah,
Mishael, and Azariah, agreed that they would
not eat the meat or drink the wine either. Hallelujah! This is what the
Lord is after – a small company of two or three, gathered together under
a covenant that they will stand for the Testimony of the Lord, for
something Heavenly, regardless of the cost!
