the threat of fame

Daniel and his friends were dragged off to Babylon -- in fancy carriages, to a life of luxury. This was not like the future exiles who were treated much worse.

Daniel and his friends were the cream of the crop, the best looking, the smartest, the healthiest. And they were on the way to help the King of the most powerful kingdom in the world. Young people leaving a conservative world to enter the world of fame, fortune, and perhaps even death. The stakes were high. Glory and fame, or the sword.

How would they fare as they entered Nebuchadnezzar's world? Would they strive to fit in and do their best, or would they stand firm on their faith?

How do we fare when we head of to a new world of college, or work? Will we fit in, or will we remain faithful?

The first days are the most important

God Bless,
