Daniel 1:1-21

Daniel 1:1

I. We see here how national sins are ever followed by Divine retribution.

II. We see here most admirably illustrated the duty of adhering in all circumstances to that course of conduct which in our consciences we believe to be right.

III. We have in this history an illustration of the value of temperance in eating and drinking.

IV. We may see here how God's hand is in all His people's concerns.
