Today, many Christians do not bother to study the Bible deeply. They do not try to understand that story, the reasons that led to a certain outcome. It is the same as the verse in Isaiah, where it is written that God is love. Sinners cling to this phrase to remain plunged in the mud. They forget that the complement is Justice. That is, He is love, but Justice is also.
When we have the Holy Spirit dwelling in our hearts, the presence of the Lord rejoices us, with no room for melancholy and depression. Of course there are wars that sometimes discourage us, but soon Jesus Christ puts us on our feet and we continue the journey. The world does not act this way. Because the food provided by the devil is devoid of vitamins that only the food produced by Jesus Christ has to spare.
An example of this is when we lose someone we love. We cry, but Jesus Christ puts his salve in our soul until we return to normal. It is the food of the Lord, his strong Word, who puts us on our feet. Those who enjoy the food of darkness will plunge into melancholy, which often ends in suicide, for life loses its reason for existing. It is the same as the athlete who enters a dispute fed only by an apple or banana. A few minutes later he will faint and go bad. Those who have had a good meal can overcome their tiredness.
Daniel, still young, knew the advantages of nourishing his organism with the food offered by God. Proof of this is that the Lord shed strong anointing on his life. Daniel had the gift of sight. He could, with God's help, see the future. His book is considered a kind of Apocalypse, because it brings in its pages events that have not yet occurred. It is in the book of Daniel that it is written about the advancement of human knowledge, as we now see.
