DON’T SELL YOUR BIRTHRIGHT

Daniel 1:8-20

So much hinges on a single thing. Daniel was given a keen, understanding mind. He knew that he could keep it so or lose it. So knowing, he chose to be careful in his habits of life. “Pulse” for Daniel meant thoughtful moderation, self-control, which must have characterized all his round of life. Dainties may seem a small item, but Daniel would not sell his birthright of keenness and strength for a mess of dainties.
