It was not going to end with talk in this inner sanctum of this opulent and expansive quarter. A table with a variety of offerings soon beckoned at the host?s invitation but there were two of the guests who were not in the eating mode that day. Although it wasn?t in tune with protocol and the man of power actually asked at some point, the two watched others feast without partaking.

?But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.? ? Daniel 1: 8 (KJV)

Conviction is not about convenience.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
