Daniel 1:3-8
3. And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes;
4. children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.
5. And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king.
6. Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
7. unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abed-nego.
8. 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.

MFM Daily Devotional Message Friday, 29th August, 2025.
Daniel and His Hebrew brothers refused the king's delicacies because they knew it was going to pollute them and weaken their spiritual lives. Were they not hungry? They were. Was the king's meal not sumptuous and alluring? They were. It was a rare privilege to be offered something of value by a king. Though the Hebrew young men knew it was a privilege to be offered a meal by the king and that the king could get offended if he learnt about their refusal, yet they humbly rejected. They chose to obey God rather than man. They were not ruled by the flesh. The lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and the love of the world as well as the pride of life had no power over them. Rather, the fruit of the Spirit was evidently at work in their lives: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance.
Similarly, Joseph refused the seductive advances of Mrs Potiphar. His heart was right with God. He said, "I can I do this wicked thing against the Lord?" For morally debased individuals and those with corrupt minds, what Mrs Potiphar offered them on a platter of gold would have been regarded as divinely arranged opportunity for pleasure. They would have taught that such an offer would be at no cost to them, but how wrong they would have been. The devil has no free gift.
It pays to listen to the Holy Spirit and obey Him. Daniel and the three other Hebrews were promoted and highly blessed in the kingdom. The discipline and faithfulness that these young Bible characters exhibited made them enjoy divine promotion as well as favour with God and men.
In contrast with Hebrew brothers and Joseph, David could not overcome the temptation of committing adultery with Bathsheba, and Samson could not handle Delilah until she destroyed him. Also, Eve lacked the power to resist eating the apple. The truth, beloved, is that it takes discipline, persistence and doggedness to live in the will of God. You must not allow the flesh to rule you. Be Spirit-filled and Spirit-led, for the flesh profits nothing.
