Where's your faith? What are you showing the Babylonians in your life and demeanor?
Hezekiah forgot, or neglected or was ashamed to show his faith based treasures to them. He had been adept at consulting and negotiating with the polytheistic peoples. Where was the boasting? "I have 200 dollar shoes and a suit that costs this amount, "is that all?
Daniel and the boys were the tragic fallout from that crisis of faith that overcame Hezekiah. Gods friends partake in a tangible and earthly consequence. They won't taste Hell, but they will taste the fruit of their deeds and misdeeds. What is our boast and what are we known for? A beautiful bunch of stuff is no comparison to a beautiful faith and relationship with God. An honest hand in hand walk through the rough places of my life is a lot more to adorn your life than a wonderful wardrobe! Help Lord!
