Daniel 1:8 But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way.

I think most of us would jump at the chance of eating like the rich and famous! But what does it do to you?

I’m not concerned with the physical because I tend to eat a lot of fast food; but more the spiritual side of eating.

When you eat, is it because someone else eats what you have or because you have a physical craving or because it’s what you should eat?

How about, because it gives glory to God?

Psalm 94:7 They say, “The Lord does not see; the God of Jacob takes no notice.”

When people do things wrong or against God, they like to think God will not hear or see them; because if they acknowledge the truth, they will have to do something about it!

God is all-seeing and all-hearing; there is nothing He misses in this world, despite our actions and thoughts to the contrary.

No matter how far into the past we go or how far into the future we look, God is already there and already knows what is going on.

Live with God. Live for God!

Mark 8:21 He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”

Jesus used many parables and similes when He talked about the Kingdom of God; doing so to try and allow people to understand His ways.

But if someone does not want to hear the truth, thinking they know it all, they will not understand what you say – because they are not listening!

If you want someone to know about Christ, don’t talk at them, talk with them and share your love for Christ.
