Imagine carving out a special time each day just for you and God. It's not about ticking off a religious duty. It's about creating a sacred space for connection, for listening, and letting His Spirit guide you. This is where transformation begins.
Let's take a page from Daniel's book (literally!). This guy faced lions, both in life and in pits, yet his commitment to daily prayer never wavered. Daniel's wisdom and insight were direct fruits of this unshakeable routine. His life wasn’t about chance; it was about choice, deeply rooted in his daily moments with God. But it’s not about one-size-fits-all. You need to find your best time to connect with God. Is it early in the morning as the sun rises or at night when the world quiets down? Discover your spot, your routine. Make it as essential as your morning coffee. Life's busy. Totally. But here’s a thought: if Daniel could keep his routine amidst life-threatening chaos, can't we find a moment in our day too? It's about making what's truly important, truly non-negotiable. It's not about perfection; it's about presence. Prayer is an intimate conversation. It’s about gratitude, seeking wisdom, and basking in His presence. For Daniel, prayer was the highlight of his day. How about making it yours too? Find that time, that place, that method. Make it your daily anchor. This practice isn’t just for you. It spills over into your world. When you’re rooted in God, it shows. You become a source of wisdom, peace, and strength in everyday life, impacting those around you. Remember, this isn't about guilt. It's about living life to its fullest with God. If you haven't started yet, no worries. Just take that first step. Establish your daily rhythm with God and watch the transformation unfold. - Adapted from the sermon preached at our Walloon Lake campus on 11/12/23.
