THRIVING IN A GODLESS CULTURE (3)
It seems the world is falling apart a warp speed! But are all these things unique to our time? The truth is NO! In fact, things were worse in Daniel’s day, and Daniel lived an exemplerary life.

Daniel 1:1-5, Daniel 1:8
In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. And the Lord delivered Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, along with some of the articles from the temple of God. These he carried off to the temple of his god in Babylonia and put in the treasure house of his god. Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, chief of his court officials, to bring into the kingʼs service some of the Israelites from the royal family and the nobility— young men without any physical defect, handsome, showing aptitude for every kind of learning, well informed, quick to understand, and qualified to serve in the kingʼs palace. He was to teach them the language and literature of the Babylonians. The king assigned them a daily amount of food and wine from the kingʼs table. They were to be trained for three years, and after that they were to enter the kingʼs service.
But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way.
1 Peter 5:6
Humble yourselves, therefore, under Godʼs mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
