환관장이 그들의 이름을 고쳐 다니엘은 벨드사살이라 하고 하나냐는 사드락이라 하고 미사엘은 메삭이라 하고 아사랴는 아벳느고라 하였더라

Identity issues are popular topic in the world today, and in this story Daniel has to choose his identity: is he a Jew or is he Babylonian? He was born Jewish, but the Babylonians were trying to convert him to to one of them, and despite being offered a better life as a Babylonian he chose to stay with the identitiy that God gave him. It wasn't an easy choice, but in the end it actually worked out better for him. The same can be true for us. When we live the way God says we should, our true identity will shine brighter than anything the world can give us.
