TBN Devotional - Sample:Daniel Chapter One - C. Lynn Green At a recent conference for lawyers, a couple of Christians decided to initiate an after-hours meeting for Christians and were surprised at how many conferees showed up. Amongst them was one senior judge whose presence was a complete surprise. After an enjoyable evening, one remarked to another, “I have seen that judge regularly for ten years and had no idea he was a believer—I wish I had known!” Maybe that judge’s life and faith was making a positive impact on those around him, but it seems quite likely that he was amongst the vast number of Christians whose “work camouflage” has completely obscured their spiritual life. We all want to be culturally and socially appropriate (whatever that means) in our exercise of faith, but too often our efforts to blend in with others has an undesirable effect. Jesus said, “No one lights a lamp and then hides it under a basket.” But we do! Surely every Christian wants their “light to shine”, so why do so many end up under the proverbial basket? Undoubtedly there are a variety of reasons for that, but I suspect that the most common reason is dramatically illustrated by the events recounted in Daniel chapter one. Have a quick look at the chapter and you will note a couple of striking points about the context of this story: Daniel must have been a very gifted and able young man, born into a leading family in Jerusalem, but his promising life was traumatically interrupted. A ruthless foreign power desecrated the temple of God, destroyed his beloved home city and, very probably, his entire family. In spite of being a prisoner of war, enduring a lengthy forced march and facing a future of enslavement to a heathen king, he betrays no bitterness or resentment against God or anyone else.
We can conclude that Daniel was successfully blending into his environment and his faith had not become an issue—until verse eight. He finds that he is required to eat food that is forbidden by God’s law. More>>
