5/12/09 Daniel 1 7-17

SCRIPTURE:
(Please share the verse(s) which speak to you)
But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the king’s choice food or with wine which he drank; so he sought permission from the commander of the officials that he might not defile himself. (Daniel 1:8 NAS)
OBSERVATION:
Daniel had a choice. He could have eaten the finest food from the king’s table or eat what scripture and tradition taught.
APPLICATION:
We have temptations that are thrust upon us. We can choice the easy (or rich) ways of life. They may not seem to bad or too much against God. We might even ask would God disapprove. But we should always strive to be diligence to what Scripture teaches and tradition instructs.
PRAYER:
Lord teach me to seek you will when I have to make decisions on my own. Let me rely on your guidance and not mine.
YES:
I will see God’s will not mine.
