The Winner Always Finishes the Race
Daniel 1
1. Choose Faithfulness over Worldly Wisdom. (Verses 1-14; 1 Cor 3:19)
a. 1 Corinthians 3:19-20, “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, since it is written, He catches the wise in their craftiness; and again, The Lord knows that the reasonings of the wise are futile.”
2. God Blesses Faithfulness. (Verses 15-21, 1 Tim 2:1-4)
a. 1 Timothy 2:1-4, “First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good, and it pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
