Daniel 1:8 (NKJV) 8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king\u2019s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Daniel did not want to eat the delicacies, or drink the wine he had been supplied with, knowing that it was forbidden for the Jews to do so.<\/p>\n

He knew it would defile him.<\/p>\n

In light of this, he took a stand and asked his boss if he could prove that his diet was better.<\/p>\n

He requested that he and his colleagues be allowed to eat their own food for 10 days. After the 10 days, let him judge their appearance and their health and make a final decision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sometimes we\u00a0have to\u00a0take a stand,\u00a0like Daniel did, if something we are being told to do\u00a0goes against what we believe to be good for us and\u00a0our\u00a0relationship with God.<\/p>\n

God gave Daniel favor and goodwill with the chief of the eunuchs. And Daniel was able to prove his case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Daniel 1:9 (NKJV) 9 Now God had brought Daniel into the favor and goodwill of the chief of the eunuchs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What is it today\u00a0that we are needing to stand up and say no to?<\/p>\n

Are we on a job that is pushing us to do things against what we know is the right thing to do?<\/p>\n

Are our kids in a place where we need to stand up and voice our opinion on a certain subject?<\/p>\n

Do we need to take a stance and say no to things in our relationship that we know we should not be doing or going along with?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What is it today that God is saying, “stand up, be firm, don\u2019t back down. I will give you favor and wisdom to know what to say and when to say it.”?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We\u00a0have to\u00a0purpose within our heart, like Daniel, to do the right thing and then\u00a0stand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Amen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
