As a captive in a foreign, pagan land, Daniel purposed not to defile himself. You, young lady, should be purposed to keep your heart on the things of God in this chaotic, wicked world. Purposing to live obedient to Him and His will is vital for your relationship with the Lord. The decisions you make today will set a course for the rest of your life. This devotional strives to encourage you as young ladies in your walk with God and prepare you for the future as you grow into adulthood. "But Daniel purposed in his heart..." - Daniel 1:8
