“They were to be boys without physical defect, handsome in appearance, versed in all kinds of wisdom, quick to learn, discerning, and having the capacity to serve in the king’s palace; and he was to teach them the language and literature of the Kasdim (Chaldeans).”
Daniel 1:4 CJB
The world is no different today. They want people to be young and beautiful and that is what society strives for! Also, like the pagan world of old, our society today wants to form our young people into what Satan wants them to be instead of what God desires us to be!
“So now, Israel, all that Adonai your God asks from you is to fear Adonai your God, follow all His ways, love Him and serve Adonai your God with all your heart and all your being.”
Deuteronomy 10:12 CJB
The desire God has for us is for good things, the desire the enemy has for us is for evil! Satan is always trying to be worshipped like God, so he puts evil desires into man’s hearts! What do we do? Fear living without God, follow His ways and serve Him! God has a perfect plan for us! We need to be like Daniel and the boys who refused the king’s delicacies!
“For I know what plans I have in mind for you,’ says Adonai,’plans for well-being, not for bad things; so that you can have hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11 CJB
God knows what we are going through, but He has a perfect plan for us! No matter what may be going on around us, know that God has a perfect plan, so don’t fall into the traps of the world!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!
