Summary
Daniel refuses the king's food and wine as an act of faithfulness to God, demonstrating that obedience to God's authority must come before compromise with worldly systems. The sermon teaches that personal resolution to avoid defilement, combined with respectful submission to human authority and trust in God's provision, results in God's blessing and favor.
Highlights
When Daniel did his part, God did his part. When Daniel moved, God moved. When Daniel did what he was supposed to do, God did his part.
You do your part and then you trust however God has moved is his part. I do my part and then as I see God move, I determine in my heart that's what God desired to do.
The only thing that you contribute to your salvation is your sin. So what's your part? Lord, I'm broken, I'm sinful, and I just come to you.
