for the week ended September 13 2008
“But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine… Daniel 1:8 (NIV)
Reading this week’s lesson, I thought about how Daniel’s story parallels the situation today that many Christians find themselves in.
Like Daniel, Christians (especially young people) have to make their way in a hostile world. And like Daniel there are many trials and temptations where we have to make a decision to stand firm or to compromise.
This week we’ll delve into the times Daniel was put to the test, and look at how he and his friends reacted. I think we’ll find that their is much to learn and apply in our world today.
