Today's promise: No temptation is too great
Do biblical examples, like Daniel, help you avoid temptation?
But Daniel made up his mind not to defile himself by eating the food and wine given to them by the king. He asked the chief official for permission to eat other things instead. Now God had given the chief official great respect for Daniel. But he was alarmed by Daniel's suggestion.… "If you become pale and thin… I am afraid the king will have me beheaded for neglecting my duties.… "Test us for ten days on a diet of vegetables and water," Daniel said.… So the attendant agreed to Daniel's suggestion… At the end of the ten days, Daniel and his friends looked healthier and better nourished than the young men who had been eating the food assigned by the king.… God gave these four young men an unusual aptitude for learning the literature and science of the time. And God gave Daniel special ability in understanding the meanings of visions and dreams.
