Are you willing to stand alone for the Lord like Daniel did? In this devotion from Daniel chapter 1 (KJV), Pastor Roderick Webster of Good News Baptist Church brings a timely word from his series Words From The Word about what it truly means to purpose in your heart not to defile yourself in a world that is pulling believers away from holy living.
You might be asking — Why does it feel so hard to live differently from the world around me? How can one decision in my heart make such a difference in my life? What does it mean that Daniel was called a man greatly beloved? Can God really use someone like me if I choose to stand for Him?
Key points from this episode:
- Daniel purposed in his heart not to defile himself with the king's meat or wine
- God responded to Daniel's commitment by giving him favor, knowledge, and wisdom
- At the end of ten days, Daniel and his friends were fairer and healthier than all the others
- The king found Daniel and his companions ten times better than the best in the realm
- Daniel is called a man greatly beloved by God — not once, but repeatedly
