Daniel and his friends were not ordinary people. They came from noble families and positions of influence. Yet they were among those taken captive to Babylon. Sometimes we assume that hardship will affect others but not us. We think difficulties will come only to those in certain circumstances or environments. But life can change suddenly. Daniel and his friends had every reason to become bitter, angry, and resentful about what had happened to them. Instead, they chose a different response. They remained faithful to GOD, committed to excellence, and refused to allow their circumstances to define their attitude. In the end, they stood out and excelled above the others. In this episode of Fuel for the Soul with John Giftah, discover how to respond when life takes an unexpected turn and how to maintain excellence even in challenging environments. Your circumstances may change โ€” but your attitude and commitment to GOD can still set you apart.
