TONIGHT WE WILL LOOK AT THE BOOK OF DANIEL. WHEN YOU NEED COURAGE DANIEL IS THE BEST PLACE TO GO.
Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine. (Daniel 1:8)
"What you learn as a child, stays with you always," says a Dutch proverb. Such as praying at bed-time and maybe the children's songs from Sunday School.
That is what the first chapter of Daniel is all about.
The youth of Israel who were deported from Jerusalem to Babylon should have become impregnated with a pagan spirit. They were to undergo a complete brainwashing. Not under pressure but voluntarily. If they were put into a concentration camp they would have resolved to remain faithful to God. Their Babylonian captors were aware of this and so they adopted another strategy.
