"Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself" (Daniel 1:8).
Daniel purposed in his heart
To do the thing he knew was right,
Determining to not take part
With what was evil in God's sight.
What a model we see here!
What a confidence portrayed!
What a proper godly fear
Daniel clearly thus displayed!
And so may we partake as well
In godly fear in peace or strife.
And thus by our behavior tell
That God is ruling in our life.
