Daniel purposed in his heart....!

Daniel 1:8-9 NKJV

But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. Now God had brought Daniel into the favor and goodwill of the chief of the eunuchs.

† Shalom †......! Day #359. Do you know that when you've purposed in your heart not to defile yourself with the things of the world, God will cause His favor to shower upon you? Let's pray. Father, we ask of Your guidance and lead us. Give us a determined heart that's purposed to live rightly before You and not to defile our heart with the things of the world. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

First of all,  I would take this opportunity to wish a blessed Christmas 🎄 to every readers. May the good Lord continue to bless you in this joyous day. Have you welcomed the birth of our Saviour into your heart today?

Friends, I've came across this verse many times, and every time I read this verse, God gives different revelation from this same verse. Today I want to share with us what God has placed in my heart. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile his heart with the food prepared by king's servants. He and his friends didn't take anything from the king's portion which was given to them. Today, this world has a lot to offer us And many of us are giving ourselves to the world's offer. Many lustful offers are coming our ways and many are being trapped by it. Just as Daniel and his friends purposed not to defile themselves with the king's portion, we to must purposed in our hearts not to give in to the lies of the  devil. This world is just temporary, so live in the Lord and Shine forth His glory.

The word is determine. We must have  a determined heart as we follow the LORD. Why a determined heart you may ask.... Well as you walk with GOD our heart may tend to turn to left or to right, giving in to the temptations of the world in every ways. Therefore we must follow the Lord with eyes focused to Him alone. When you determined in your heart to follow Him wholeheartedly , therefore God will cause His favor to shower upon you. Amen! Daniel prospered in all his ways. So you would be. Have a joyous and wonderful Christmas 🎄 .

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
