Read this: Daniel Chap 1.<\/b><\/p>\n
Rap this:<\/strong> But Dan decides to make a stand. <\/p>\n Dan, he just eats vegetables. Dan goes on the Cabbage Diet. Dudes who stuff on steak and chips The Palace takes fit-lookin\u2019 guys; They beat all the opposition. Though Dan\u2019s the man, God had it sussed. Ask this:<\/strong> Pray this:<\/strong>
\nJerusalem is on its knees
\nAn\u2019 power is with God\u2019s enemies
\nAn\u2019 people groan in poverty
\nAn\u2019 Dan is in captivity.
\nBut \u2018cause of his high pedigree
\nHe\u2019s earmarked for celebrity;
\n.
\nFed up on local grub an\u2019 booze,
\nRead up on local culture, views;
\nIf Dan makes the grade-good news!
\n-A job for life at the Royal Mews<\/p>\n
\nThis meat n\u2019booze of a foreign land\u2019s
\nAgainst his faith-the time\u2019s at hand
\nTo draw a line down in the sand.<\/p>\n
\nEven though could cause him trouble.
\nThey said, \u201cThis could burst yo\u2019 bubble!\u201d
\nHe said, \u201cCool, I\u2019m comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThey say, \u201cThis goin\u2019 cause a riot!\u201d
\n\u201cOK. Ten days\u2014let me try it.
\nThen decide if you\u2019re goin\u2019 buy it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nAre lookin\u2019 rough; ain\u2019t no snake hips.
\nDan an\u2019 friends got their own huddle
\nLookin\u2019 like some male model.<\/p>\n
\nNot just looks; they\u2019re s\u2019posed be wise.
\nDan trusts that God who made the skies
\nGives brains and<\/em> looks– without no pies.<\/p>\n
\nGod won them the competition.
\nPrizes were some Royal Positions,
\nBetter than the Royal Magicians.<\/p>\n
\nSo if you think that you bin\u2019 cussed,
\nAn\u2019 hey! God\u2019s plans seem blown to dust.
\nAn\u2019 if you feel you\u2019re goin\u2019 for bust,
\nAbove all else, one thing\u2019s a must:
\nThe World\u2019s a mess but God is Just.
\nHe\u2019s still in charge, you gotta trust.
\nYeah, he\u2019s in charge, you gotta trust.<\/p>\n
\nHow do I react when, like for Daniel, taken into captivity, God\u2019s plans seem to be falling to pieces?<\/p>\n
\nPlease Lord, when all seems lost, help me to just hang on in there and stay true to You and your rescue plan for me.<\/p>\n
