| Simple Principles |
“But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat,
nor with the wine which he drank” (Daniel 1:8). |
| “Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime” (Daniel 6:10). |
| Great men and women of God base their lives on simple principles. They don’t just know them — they do them as well. Though Daniel had been carried away into captivity and was many miles from his true home, he followed these two simple principles: |
| 1. No compromise — Never would he defile himself with the idolatrous meat. |
| 2. Much prayer — At all times he lifted his heart up to God. |
| Testing came and he was found 10 times better than all the others. If our lives are marked by these simple principles, real blessing follows as well. |
