DAILY READINGS: Deut. 26:16-27:26; Amos 1:1-2:16; Luke 13:22-35

But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself. Daniel 1:8
Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon. Dan. 2:49

How we need to pray for young believers who go off to college or university for the first time. It is not easy to make that initial stand as a believer, especially when you appear to be the only believer in the residence. My advice would be to seek out some other like minded believers, if possible, in the establishment, so that you can meet for prayer and Bible study and enjoy fellowship. How Daniel appreciated Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego! —Brian Russell

Ashamed of Jesus! that dear Friend, on whom my hopes of heaven depend!
No; when I blush, be this my shame, that I no more revere His name. —Joseph Grigg
