Daniel was a captive in a foreign land, but he did not forget his religious principles. He could not in good conscience eat meat that had been dedicated to a pagan god and had not been slaughtered in accordance with Hebrew laws. He asked for a simple fare of vegetables and water, and the steward risked his life to honor his request. I believe he did this because Daniel's noble conduct had earned his respect. The world looks with disdain on Christians who do not live what they say they believe. That's why we should remain true to our convictions. Consistency of character is what gains the respect of others. Herb Vander Lugt
That you are faithful to God's Word; There may be some who disagree, But they will know you love the Lord. D. De Haan If you're living for Christ you may lose some friends, but you won't lose their respect.
