“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
Sounds like our college campus today! We send of our young who are eager to learn and the professors twist them deniers of the truth! Things are not much different than the pagan days of old! The world around us is very much controlled by Satan and it takes the young and twists them! God, desires us to follow after Him!
“So now, Israel, all that Adonai your God asks from you is to fear Adonai your God, follow his ways, love Him and serve 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
We need to be like Daniel and the boys, refusing Satan’s (the king’s) delicacies, which are meant for evil! Satan is always trying to be worshipped and followed like God, so he puts and dangles evil desires in front of men! What do we do? Refuse it, fear living without God, follow His ways and serve Him! God desires us to follow His perfect plan!
“Fot 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 realize He has a perfect plan for us! No matter what may be going on around us, know God has a perfect plan!
Have a blessed day being like Daniel, refusing the delicacies of the world!
