3 Things I Know About You:

  • You’ve experienced massive disruption this year

  • More than ever, you want to make your difference

  • You’re facing resistance for reaching your potential

3 Choices Daniel Made:

  1. I will PUT GOD FIRST

But Daniel was determined not to defile himself by eating the food and wine given to them by the king. He asked the chief of staff for permission not to eat these unacceptable foods. -Daniel 1:8

See also: Romans 12:1

2. I will INCLUDE MY FRIENDS

17 Then Daniel went home and told his friends Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah what had happened. 18 He urged them to ask the God of heaven to show them his mercy by telling them the secret, so they would not be executed along with the other wise men of Babylon. 19 That night the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven. -Daniel 2:16-19

See also: Luke 5:18-20

3. I will MAKE MY DIFFERENCE

27 Daniel replied, “There are no wise men, enchanters, magicians, or fortune-tellers who can reveal the king’s secret. 28 But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the future. Now I will tell you your dream and the visions you saw as you lay on your bed. -Daniel 2:27-28
