Daring to be a Daniel

It can be ignored that Daniel's captors had an agenda for his life. The inspiring fact of this story is that Daniel had an agenda of his own. His agenda was intertwined with the God's purpose and will for his life. His captors sought to use his strengths as a weakness and for their own purpose. Is it not the sole agenda of our adversary to use the strength that God has endowed us with and diminish it to become a weakness. Our prayer and faith in God are strengths, not to be confused as weaknesses. Our youthfulness and understanding of life from a biblically sound worldview is a strength, not to be confused with weakness. Daniel's understanding of what is good for his life is a strength. What is God's agenda for your life? Has He capture your soul?
