We live in a world of tolerance. It is called the free world in which one is free to do and behave just about any way he/she wishes. But when one confesses to be born of the spirit of God there are many limitation on his/her life. It is a condition of the heart. As children of God we can't just act any kind of way. Everything we say and do must be to the edification and glory of the God we serve.
Much like in Daniel's day the world will try to get you to swallow it's permissive ways and take on it's selfish spirit. But like Daniel we who profess to be Christ like must purpose in our hearts not to defile ourselves with the teachings of this world. We must reject the evil and lustful spirit that lives in the hearts of all who are part of this world. The world will tell you "it's your life live it to the fullest" but in reality the life you now live, has been purchase by the shed blood of Jesus The Christ, and it now belongs to Him. Let us not defile ourselves with the portion of the worlds meat, let our hearts not be filled with the spirit which it partakes of, but let us feed on the meat of God's word and be lead by His Holy Spirit. Let His truths dwell in your heart.
This is a choice we must make everyday. Everyday we are faced with the question "whom will I be servant to this day". You can chose to serve the Lord or by default you will find yourself defiling yourself with the worlds portion of meat and partaking of his spirit. I shall not be move.
