But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine

In my opinion, to start the first day of the year learning about Daniel was an important decision made by myself.

Daniel, wise young man, had the opportunity to enjoy of the royal food and wine. At the first impression, he could think, I am a slave here, I have no option, I will do everything they order me!

But, this guy was a God's man and he decided to keep his body clean and today we have the same opportunity. We don't need to gossip, we don't need to lie, we don't need to do bad behavior just because it is close to us or appear the right thing to do.

If we want a entire 2011 with Emmanuel (God with us), the first decision is do not defile yourself with the royal food and wine.
