To be able to stand firm and hold to biblical convictions modestly is a great grace that far too few of us attain. Why should that be? Is it because we are overconcerned about the fact that these convictions are our own and too little concerned for the glory of God in them?

Daniel took his stand because he was impressed by the holiness of God. He did not want to offend that holy God. It was as simple as that. He was able, as a result, to be faithful to the Lord in a way that would show the Lord’s glory, not in a way that would leave people staring at Daniel himself. There is a world of difference in these two reactions.

Daniel’s expectation. It is evident from Daniel’s request to the steward that he believed God would honor his and his companions’ desire to be faithful to Him. It was Daniel who suggested the ten-day trial in the expectation that his plain diet would produce a healthy complexion. Of course it might not have been God’s will (cf. Dan. 3:17–18).

Daniel had good reason, however, to believe that the Lord would crown their faithfulness because the issue at stake was God’s glory and kingdom. Living for God’s glory produces a spirit of humble confidence that God will act. Such confidence marked the Old Testament heroes of the faith and marks men and women of faith in every age.

Daniel’s modesty. If the strength of Daniel’s stand is impressive, no less so is the manner in which he took it. We do not read of any harsh words, proud bearing, or histrionics. Rather he responded to his situation in a spirit of humility and respect. He requested permission of the chief of the eunuchs. His words to the steward were “Please test …” . He did not go out of his way to embarrass either man on account of his own faithfulness. He allowed no harsh words about others to pass his lips.

 Indeed, at this stage he does not seem to have explained to either man that he had already resolved that, whatever their response, on no account would he defile himself. He seems rather to have patiently explained his situation, his desire to be faithful to his Lord, and his request that he might receive this dispensation.

 There is something Christlike about such a spirit. We do not need to be either gauche or obnoxious to be faithful to God. Indeed, Daniel illustrates the principle that true faithfulness is seen not only in our determination to stand firm (that, after all, might simply be native stubbornness) but in the way we stand firm and the spirit in which we do so. Jesus is the illustration of this par excellence: “When He was reviled, [He] did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously” (1 Pet. 2:23).

There lies the secret of both Jesus and Daniel: They knew they lived and spoke before the judgment of God. They had no need to judge those with whom they dealt; God Himself would be their judge. This ought to be our motivation to more Christ like, Amen.

Dios, te alabo, adoro y adoro, porque nos das una paz que el mundo no nos puede dar.

Dios, te alabo, adoro y adoro, porque nos das una paz que el mundo no nos puede dar. Digno es el cordero de Dios, la raíz de David que fue asesinada en la cruz para la expiación final y total del pecado por uno y por todos. Después de su sacrificio en la cruz fue sepultado, pero en ese tercer día glorioso se levantó de entre los muertos tal como lo predijeron las Escrituras y ahora se sienta a la diestra del Padre abogando por todos los que lo hemos aceptado como nuestro Salvador. ¿Qué estás esperando para aceptar a Cristo por hoy? Se te ha dado pero no sabes del mañana. Dios los bendiga a todos. Mi nombre es Cesar y soy una voz en el desierto

God I praise and worship and adore you because you give us peace that the world cannot give us. Worthy is the lamb Oda God, David’s root that was slain on the cross for the final and total atonement  from sin for one and for all. After His sacrifice on the cross He was buried but on that third glorious day He arouse from the dead just as scriptures foretold and now He sits at the right hand of the Father  advocating for all of us that have accepted Him as our Savior. What are you waiting for to accept Christ for today has been given to you but you know not of tomorrow. God bless you all.
