Prove thy servants, I beseech thee
For ten days , let us feed
On pulse, instead of meat
And water, let us drink

Daniel and the Hebrew servants,
Stood out different from the rest
They didn't want the luxuries
Their countenances were the test

After 10 days of the basics
While the others had enjoyed the feasts,
The Hebrews' were fairer and fatter
They weren't skinny in the least (Daniel 1)

They were able to withhold
From the pleasures they could see (Hebrews 11:26)
They wanted better things
Holy they would be! (I Peter 1:16)

They found their strength in God (Hosea 12:3)
And endured the test of time (Matt 24:13)
In the midst of a strange kingdom (Hebrews 11:13)
Through the fire and amongst the lions (Hebrews 11:33-34)


(Hebrews 11:26) (Moses)
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward.

I Peter 1:16
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

Hosea 12:3
((Jacob) He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:

Matt 24:13
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Hebrews 11:13
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

Hebrews 11:33-34
Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
