Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 30, 2021

In the very beginning of his stay in the king's Palace, Daniel took a stand that could have led to his execution or at the very least, enslavement or imprisonment.

Last time we talked about how Daniel and his three friends Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego remained faithful to the Lord despite how they were strongly tempted to compromise.
