The Daniel Difference

DAY 5 OF 5

  

Decision time

Read Daniel 9

What have we learned about Daniel? He was a pray-er who was determined not to let his circumstances distract, deter, or discourage him from the most important thing, his time with his God. He was so committed to this priority that he built his schedule, each and every day, around his prayer times. And Daniel's life showed great fruit and blessing as a result.

There is a verse in the first chapter of Daniel that tells us a lot about Daniel. Verse 9 says, "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." Other versions say that Daniel "resolved" or he "determined," which means, at the onset of Daniel's ministry, he made a decision to honor God and obey His commands. 

Daniel also made a decision about his prayer life. Remember, praying on a schedule was not part of the Jewish law that Daniel had learned as a young child. It certainly was not what was modeled for him in heathen Babylon. He made his own determination about what was right and necessary for him and he "purposed in his heart" to follow through.

So, how about you? Are you ready, like Daniel, to purpose in your heart to make prayer a priority? Are you ready to make such a commitment that you schedule your day around your time with God? 

If it sounds too overwhelming to even try, here is a suggestion and a tool to get you started. There is an app for your phone that will prompt you to pray twice a day, at 7:14 in the morning and 7:14 in the evening. It will give you a short scripture or suggestion for your prayer. You will be reminded to pray, and you can pray in unity with believers all over the world around God's Word. The purpose of this app is to help you follow through on a decision you have made to schedule your prayers. The ultimate goal is to see revived, changed, fruitful lives and to unite in prayer that leads to a revival in our families, churches, and the world.
