four young Hebrews to prosper as they did.. Nevertheless, it is true that a simple life yields lasting benefits. The advantages are felt not only by the participants themselves, but also by all who come in contact with them. There is power in simple living. Points and Problems 1. "But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself" (Dan. 1:8). Daniel could not help that he and his companions were given horrible pagan names, that they were captives in an idolatrous atmos phere, and that the king had appoint ed for them certain food and drink, but one thing he could do was to re fuse to partake of the food and drink set before him. This showed his loy alty to God. Likewise, believers today are not re sponsible for the attitude that men of the world assume toward God nor for the pollution that is in the world, but one thing they are responsible for is that they keep themselves separated from these things. • 2. "Now God had brought Daniel into favor and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs" (v. 9). No sooner had Daniel decided to re nounce the world and walk with God than God began to work in his behalf. He brought him into favor with the prince of the eunuchs, gave him “un derstanding in all visions and dreams” (v. 17), and gave him grace to con tinue throughout the captivity (v. 2 1 ). It is always so. Those who choose to walk with God experience manifesta tions of His guidance and grace. The way of blessing is the way of separa tion. 3. "Thus Melzar took away the por tion of their m ea t...and gave them pulse" (v. 16). Though Daniel and his companions gave up the king’s food, God provided for them. They were given pulse to eat, a kind of a vege table diet (the word literally means “seeds” ) which nourished them until they were “fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king’s meat” (v. 15). They who turn from the world and its husks are not left to starve. They for ever feed on Christ who perfectly nourishes the soul until it becomes even like unto Himself. Golden Tex' Illustration P A T it r a . 1 -8 During the South African War there was a meeting held for Christian sol diers on the veld. A big highlander said a few words, “Now, look here, chums, tell me why didn’t the lions eat Daniel?” There was a pause. “Well, I’ll tell you,” said the speaker, “it was because Daniel was three parts backbone, and all the rest gris
tle . . . put backbone into your Chris tianity, comrades. Be like Daniel, and God will give you all the needed strength to stand against temptation, and to overcome sin.”—One Thousand Tales Worth Telling.
