The message on Daniel 1 today is the first in a series on faith under pressure. The faith of Daniel and his friends was under a great deal more pressure than anything we are likely to face. Nevertheless, they responded in an odd way to this pressure — they became vegetarians. We live in a time and place with so much in common with ancient Babylon that we too need to be thinking: How am I going to respond to the pressure on my faith? Daniel and his friends responded in a way that was pleasing to God and He elevated them to positions of power in that foreign and pagan culture. God is the same today. God honors those who seek to honor Him.
