Scripture: Daniel 6: 1-16
10 Now when
Daniel knew that the document was signed, he went into his house (now in his
roof chamber his windows were open toward Jerusalem); he continued to get down
on his knees three times a day, praying and giving thanks before his God, as he
had been doing previously….
16 Then the king gave a command, and
Daniel was brought and thrown into the den of lions. The king said to Daniel,
“May your God, whom you constantly serve, rescue you Himself!” 17 A stone was
brought and laid over the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own
signet ring and with the signet rings of his nobles, so that nothing would be
changed concerning Daniel. 18 Then the king returned to his palace and spent
the night fasting; and no music or entertainment was brought before him, and he
remained unable to sleep.
This man Daniel was so committed to
God in a way that the Scripture tells us he prayed 3 times a day just like
David. It also notable that the king on verse 16 said ‘Your God whom you constantly serve’. Many of us do come to
church and pray but were are not constantly serving God, when you reach a
level where you constantly serve God, when you cry unto God He will hear your
cry, If it God you constantly serve, you committed to, you prioritise – God will
also prioritise you in times of trouble. God will hear our cry when were
committed to Him
Our commitment must be constant, we must not
try to show commitment when only were facing challenges or when challenges come
but God must always be our Priority, Daniel didn’t start to pray 3 times a day
when He was about to face challenges but it was his lifestyle as the bible says
‘HE CONTINUED… AS HE WAS DOING PREVIOUSLY’ to pray 3 times, prioritising God
must also be our lifestyle, not something we wait to do when were in trouble.
