In Daniel 1: 8-21 we see four prisoners of a controlling king. Nebuchadnezzar had plans for these four young men. They would be developed into the king’s dream team. This reigning king made the rules they must follow. Daniel Refused to Follow the King’s Diet.  He saw following this diet as self-defilement. Daniel’s decision placed him and his friends in danger. This led to a test to see which diet was best. See Daniel’s message here is about commitment. God should always have first place in our lives.
