Daniel 1: 17 To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds.
The captives in Babylon include Daniel and his friends. They are faithful to the Lord. The Lord helps them become an important part Nebuchadnezzar's court. This proves to be the way that God speaks to Nebuchadnezzar.
Daniel is just the kind of servant I want to be. He is adaptable, but he doesn't bend on the importance of his faith. He won't eat food defiled by dedication to false gods. He trusts God to make that okay. And he has a pipeline to God. He's a prophet. Even Nebuchadnezzar sees his worth, and he recognized that Daniel's strength came from the one true God.
Prayer: Strengthen my faith, Lord. Make me more like your servant, Daniel. Help me to serve You. Help me to stand firm when something is truly important. Help me to let things go when they are trivial. Give me judgment to tell which is which.
Amen
