We face the pressure to change from the world around us. They are constant and relenting. But we must choose to make a stand and maintain our character in the face of difficult choices. Daniel faced the pressure to change and he becomes an example for us of what it means to have integrity. We learn from him in this passage the importance of making that right choice when it would be so easy and convenient to make the wrong one and the blessings that come to us from choosing to live life the Lord's way.
