How did Daniel become a man of impeccable character, moral strength, and spiritual integrity? It was a cooperative effort between Daniel and the Holy Spirit. As Daniel yielded his will to the work of the Spirit, God shaped and fashioned his character. If you want to become a person of character and spiritual integrity choose to walk in obedience and yield to the Holy Spirit in all areas of your life.
“But Daniel determined that he would not defile himself by eating the king’s food or drinking his wine.”
— Daniel 1:8 (MSG)
Lord Jesus, there are some things I must avoid if I want to be a godly person. Give me the wisdom to recognize what they are and the strength to refuse them. In Your holy name I pray, amen.
