My 2026 Theme Verses: Psalms 145:4-7 (ESV) One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate. They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness. They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

Weight loss in ten days on water and vegtables? Daniel 1-6
Seeing things through the eyes of the flesh vs. seeing things through they eyes of faith is a completely different world view. Daniel was taking away, into captivity by the King of Babylon. The King took only the best young man and placed them into his "educational" system to train them ... Babylonian University. While at B.U. Daniel was to be educated about Babylon, their God and educated "there way" - which meant that he would have to do some things contrary to God's way; how he was taught by his parents. Looking at the situation through the eyes of the flesh he simply could have rationalized the situation away. After all, he WAS in a strange land (and, dietary laws were for the nation of Israel). He WAS "ordered" to do so under fear of death. He WAS "only" a youth. What could he do against the King? Those are all logical ways to look at it through the eyes of faith. However, through the eyes of faith it always looks different. The eyes of faith looks first to God's Word. The eyes of faith believes God's Word and the acts on His Word knowing that God promises something better when we do. Daniel simply requested of his "boss" to give ten days to God to do a miracle in his life. At the end of ten days it would be up to God. Daniel was a man of extreme faith. He was away from his parents, his law and his normal responsibilities. But, he still had a view of the world through the eyes of faith. You can look at things in life with the eyes of the flesh and you will have great peace that you have a logical conclusion. However, through the eyes of faith water comes out of rocks (Moses); fire can't burn you (Daniel's three friends); you can walk on water (Peter). The eyes of faith see things completely different. Like the fact that God can do something great in your bodies with water and vegetables in just ten days.
