Time: 605 BC
Place: King's Court
Scripture: Daniel 1:18-20
Daniel 1:18-20
I cannot help but think of Daniel & his 3 friends as 'faithful remnants' all the way from Josiah's revival.
While Josiah's spiritual revival of the recovery of the Book of the law made absolutely no impact on his sons and grandson (Jehohaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, Zedekiah - the last 4 kings of Judah and they were bad kings), it made a 'lasting spiritual impact' on Daniel and his 3 friends.
Think about this! In every generation, God raises up a faithful remnant to carry on His mission.
How true this is! Many people go to church. Many Christians are religious. Many give up their faith along the way. Many end up going back to he world. Who is willing to remain true to the end?
Today, may God find in our church a Daniel, a Hananiah, a Mishael, and an Azariah.
Ah my beloved, let us look up and pray for God to raise up this kind of faithful remnant in these last days for His glory and purpose.

Scripture: Daniel 1:18-20
Daniel 1:18-20
At the end of the time set by the king to bring them into his service, the chief official presented them to Nebuchadnezzar. The king talked with them, and he found none equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah; so they entered the king’s service. In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king questioned them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his whole kingdom.
