Life is filled with so many factors that we cannot control. Danie and his friends had been taken captive, filling their minds with so much fear and uncertainty. The king wanted to completely change their identity, immersing them into a different way of thinking and living. Thankfully they had been parented well and resolved to not lose sight of who they were, despite their surroundings and intense training. I wonder if I truly have the passion, zeal, and energy to be like Daniel, committed to who God wants me to be, despite the pressures to live a casual, normal American Christian life.
