In the World But Not Of the World

We are in this world, but we are not of this world. We are servants of our Lord and Saviour Jesus.

Daniel was a servant of the Lord.  He was the taken captive to the foreign kingdom of Babylon and made a servant of a heathen king that did not serve the Lord.  Daniel was determined to live for God no matter where he was nor what his situation. 

"But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank..." - Daniel 1:8 

In the midst of Babylon, Daniel was faithful to God, and God blessed him greatly.
