Verse: “They were given new names…” — Daniel 1:7
Thoughts:
Babylon tried to redefine Daniel by changing his name, language, and education. But identity isn’t determined by surroundings it’s rooted in God’s calling.

You can be surrounded by pressure without surrendering your identity.
Question:
What voices are trying to rename or redefine you right now?
