Daniel 1:11-14
Today's Lesson:
Daniel 1:11-14
"So Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, “Please test your servants for ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then let our appearance be examined before you, and the appearance of the young men who eat the portion of the king’s delicacies; and as you see fit, so deal with your servants.” So he consented with them in this matter, and tested them ten days."
Daniel his mindset was unyielding and believed that the Lord would help him (Isaiah 50:7) and asked Melzar to go against the kings orders. This is a lesson for us in trusting the promises of the Lord, for Daniel had an incredible amount of trust in God in saying “prove us 10 days... then compare us with the others.” But he had a good reason to and so do we. See Psalms 56:11; 125:1.
Daniel was very wise in choosing 10 days, because he knew that they had only just marched from Jerusalem, which would take its toll on the health and vitality of the body. So the best food is needed to help the body recover; food that is highly nutritious to aid the body to quickly repair itself, light and easily digested by the stomach, and food that would keep the mind clear and sharp to be able to discern the guiding of the Lord and not effect their spiritual perception. But most importantly food that the Lord could bless and strengthen them with, (as ultimately it was the Lord that blessed them with the result that was gained, because Daniel’s faith was a faith that had corresponding works out of his love for God, James 2:17-20, Galatians 5:6), unlike the food from the kings table.
So Melzar agreed to ten days.
