Topic: King's meat 1.
Daniel 1:8 KJV
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
As a young man, a captive of Judah, in a strange land, being selected to eat with the King it should have been a celebrated favour, but Daniel saw something beyond the present.
How often have you jumped on opportunities believing it's God's favour, whereas it's just the Devil's trap.
Just in the next chapter, after the king's offer comes the king's order;
"Daniel 2:12 KJV
For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon."
Before embracing the king's meat that comes in form of transfer to a "better" office or relocation it's good to inquire of God, so you won't embrace Satan's trap.
"2 Corinthians 2:11 KJV
Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices."

Prayer: Lord I receive the grace to discern your goodness and not to embrace Satan's trap in Jesus name.Amen.
