Daniel does not give up. He then suggest a test for 10 days. This was granted to Daniel I believe that God's hand can clearly be seen in this. God has seen Daniel and his friends were faithful and obiedient and because of their faith in Him He kept them healthy.

He didn't want to defile his body be cause of certain dietary traditions in Jewish culture. Eating idol food would not please God. Daniel is true and obedient to God.

They had to make drastic changes. They has their names changed. In Jerusalem they were of nobility but in Babylon they were slaves working in the counsel if the King, Being in such a position they had to change their names to false Babylon god names. They never compromise their faith in God. They stayed faithful.

I was married to a Chinese and our cultures differ but I kept my faith. It was really difficult to adjust. Language barriers and cultural differences made me feel totally out and alone.
