Me, Too

In his confession, Daniel identifies with his people. No excuses for himself. No defense; no separating himself from his fellow Israelites in captivity. He sets aside his position. He recognizes Israel was God’s chosen people, not any one individual. But as a people, they continually resisted God. Without God’s provision, even the best of us fall far short of God’s holy mark. “We” are all included without exception.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, with honesty and humbleness we come to you today admitting our failures. While being declared righteous, we have sinned and done wrong; too often we have rebelled and turned away. Help us to be victorious over sin and conform to the image of your Son; may we learn to be more like Christ in every way. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
