Contemplation (verse 8)
Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself.” Daniel teaches us that holiness begins with a firm decision in the heart. Even in exile, he remained faithful to God by guarding his purity. God blesses the one who remains loyal in small matters, for He sees the intention of the heart.
+ Fr Tadros Y Malaty

Personal Reflection: What small compromises might tempt me to fit in with others? How can I stay loyal to God even when no one is watching?

Bible Knowledge Question: Why did Daniel refuse the king’s food?

Prayer: Lord, help me to choose purity of heart in every situation. Give me courage to stand firm in my faith even when others go a different way
