Daniel and his young friends were not in a fight against Babylon, they were in a fight to maintain their identity as children of God.
He “requested” to not eat of the King’s delicacies. “He Purposed in his heart”.
It wasn’t about defiling his body as it was about defiling his heart.
A heart that loves the Lord, trusts the Lord, and therefore obeys the Lord has no difficulty making the right choices.
Daniel withstood Compromise because he was focused, Let us then focus on the important things like Daniel. We must be:
When it came to face the darkest day, he went to his “room”, which faced his PAST/PRESENT and above all his FUTURE.
He was focused on “Jerusalem”, he ensured his room was pointing towards his “promise”, wanting to see it fulfilled in Bablyon.
