Day One
Joy in a Foreign Land
Scripture: Daniel 1:1–7
Devotional: Daniel’s story begins in loss—home, freedom, and identity stripped away. Yet joy is not mentioned because joy is not a feeling; it’s a choice. Even in Babylon, God was still present. Joy begins when we trust that God’s plan is bigger than our displacement.
Joy Focus: Joy is not dependent on location.
Reflection: Where do you feel out of place right now?
Prayer: Lord, help me trust You even when life feels unfamiliar.
