Be Purpose-Full< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Daniel 1

As you continue in the journey of life, ask God to give you a heart that is purpose-full for the business of His kingdom. DanielÕs heart was purpose-full when he purposed in his heart not to defile the < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>temple of God. Daniel 1:8, ÒBut Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the kingÕs delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.Ó A young man taken captive from his home land had every reason to be angry towards God and begin to live his life outside of God. Daniel chose rather to remain focus on God and did not generate excuse to live a life of sin. He maintained who he was by going extra for the Lord; he purposed to maintain the temple of God. What disappointment have you encountered that is enough to upset your heart for God? Absolutely nothing should come between you and God because He is a perfect God that will turn ugliness into beauty. He is a God that will convert obstacle into miracle. Ask Him to give you the grace for your heart to stay on Him constantly and consistently. The purpose-full heart that was in Daniel placed him for great exploit by God. Daniel 1:9, ÒNow God had brought Daniel into the favor and goodwill of the chief of the eunuchs.Ó The favor lasted for the rest of DanielÕs life. Trust God, it will not take forever for God to turn your captivity into creativity.
