Peer pressure

Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the king’s choice food or with the wine which he drank; so he sought permission from the commander of the officials that he might not defile himself. Daniel 1:8

What do you do when you feel pressured to be something your not. Sometimes the best change is no change at all. Keeping your convictions is central to being a follower of Jesus. Daniel made up his mind. When you make up your mind, you are able to stand up for what you believe in. “No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”1 Corinthians 10:13 You will overcome because you have the Spirit of God upon your life. Praise the Lord!

Lord Jesus, thanks for your help everyday living for you.
