This is surely one of the most applicable Bible passages for everyday life, right? If you eat vegetables and water, then you'll be better in appearance than everyone else, right?
It doesn't exactly work that way for us all the time, but it's a great story. Daniel and friends are determined not to bow the knee before any false gods by eating the food sacrificed to idols, and so God creates a path forward, by miraculously strengthening them despite only eating vegetables and water. This is but one small step on their journey in faith.
God's always preparing us for something bigger. That's the promise of Scripture -- until we reach the garden at the end of Revelation, there is always something bigger to prepare for, even when God is doing something miraculous. So may we keep our eyes fixed forward, even when God is doing something miraculous in our midst, and know God is at work now and into the future.
