Majority does carry the vote, but the majority is not always right.
Daniel had to defy the King's decree not to pray. He could not forsake his daily communion with God. Daniel was a friend of God, and he knew how to stand alone in God, even if it meant every other person was against him.
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego also stood alone. Stephen stood alone and suffered a very painful death for the sake of God.
In the case of Daniel and the three Hebrew boys, God showed up and delivered them, however with Stephen, he was stoned to death. Before dying, God opened his eyes and he saw Jesus giving him a standing ovation.
Sometimes in our walk with God, we may be faced with a situation where we have to defend what we believe, it may not go down well with others, even others that we equally love. But we must learn loyalty and allegiance to God by standing alone.
