Beautiful Word Devotional #219

When Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.

Daniel 6:10

Daniel was faithful to his God. He, for instance, worshipped God at different times throughout his day, and he didn’t stop doing so when such prayer was outlawed.

Daniel is a great inspiration for all of us. Even though our lives are busy, we can choose to worship God several times a day just as Daniel did. We can read God’s Word, pray as we go about our day, sing worship songs, serve others, or spend time alone listening for God’s voice. Develop holy habits like these that will work for you and enable you to stay in touch with God.

Do this, and then when life hits hard, you’ll already be in the habit of following, loving, and trusting God—just as Daniel was.

Lord, help me develop habits that keep me vitally connected to you throughout my day, amen.
