Though the leader of team was skeptical about the whole plan of Daniel and his companions, he decided to try them on this but with proofs that this will sure work because if they actually look malnourished in the space of 10 days, he would not permit them to go ahead with such plan. So, they did as the team head instructed. Lo and behold, after these days, Daniel and his companions looked fresher on their new diet. Of course, the diet might be good but more their dedication to serve the Lord Christ with their Spirit, Soul and body.
Daniel and his companions took their stand. They stand strong knowing the implications of what eating the king’s meat could cause them. In the same manner God wants them to stand strong in his will all the time, there are so many things that might want to shift our gaze or distract us from standing strong. It might be the cares of this world.
