Daniel 1:5-7
5 And the king appointed for them a daily provision of the king’s delicacies and of the wine which he drank, and three years of training for them, so that at the end of that time they might serve before the king. 6 Now from among those of the sons of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. 7 To them the chief of the eunuchs gave names: he gave Daniel the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abed-Nego.

Galatians 3:1
Heavenly Father,
We gather before You, grateful for all Your mercies and abundant blessings. You are wonderful, creative, and oh so patient with us, Father, and we give You thanks and praise. We pray You forgive us for our sins, and lead us away from our temptations. We ask You continue to teach us by Your Holy Spirit as we follow Your Word, Your Son, and we pray You help us to avoid foolishness like in Galatians 3:1 -
“O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified?”
Father, we ask You continue to show us the layers of deception plotted against us, and steer us away from their traps and their belief in holding us as captives. Vengeance is Yours and we praise You! Father, we also pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ, Your covenant people, the suffering, and the lost. In Jesus Christ’s mighty name we pray, Amen.

Daniel 1:8-10
8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. 9 Now God had brought Daniel into the favor and goodwill of the chief of the eunuchs. 10 And the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and drink. For why should he see your faces looking worse than the young men who areyour age? Then you would endanger my head before the king.”

Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream
1 Now in the second year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was so troubled that his sleep left him. 2 Then the king gave the command to call the magicians, the astrologers, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans to tell the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king. 3 And the king said to them, “I have had a dream, and my spirit is anxious to know the dream.”
4 Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic, “O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will give the interpretation.”
