********** HEALTHY HEARTITUDE *********** DANIEL 10. Daniel was mourning three full weeks! Partial fasting and persistent praying! For what? To humble himself in the sight of the LORD and to have a clear understanding! Think about this; a man who served as the Chief administrative officer for so many decades, a man who was able to interpret so many dreams and visions, a man who met angels in his visions as well as in the lions den, a man who saw in his vision the Ancient of Days and the Son of Man, a man who had clear revelations about the end times and a man who was able to interpret even the writing on the wall was fasting and praying to gain more understanding and to humble himself! A man who excelled in his academics, administration as well as in his spiritual life throughout his lifetime decided and set his heart to understand and to humble himself before the LORD! Fasting not just for one or two days but for more than twenty one days! So aged but so thirsty! Even if his life had many unique achievements he had a holy dissatisfaction! To know and understand HIM and HIS plans more and more! In a world where even a small success in a minor endeavor makes human beings so proud and haughty, people like Daniel are rare to see! Kingdoms changed; kings changed; but Daniels prominence in those kingdoms never decreased; Even then, he set his heart to humble himself! Daniel was not dwelling in his past glory but focused on GODs glory! No wonder the enemy tried his best for twenty one days to disturb the prayer. ( DANIEL 10 : 13). Dear friend, Want to have a settled spiritual life? Satisfied with the little Bible knowledge? Feeling proud because of just one revelation? Still boasting about your long long ago achievement? Be warned, your contentment should be in the material things, not in the spiritual things! Cultivate the art of having holy dissatisfaction in your spiritual disciplines! More love, more power, more revelations; More praying, more sowing,more giving; More fasting; more thirsting, more filling; Never allow your track record to deviate you from the track! Praise GOD for the past achievements but dont stop there; Ask for new assignments; new challenges; new domains! Be honest! When was the last time you fasted and prayed, not for some worldly blessings but, to know more about HIS PLANS? Hey, the angels are waiting to bring the answers from the THRONE, but where are the Daniels? Anyone listening? ******************************************************* TAKE HEED TO THE MINISTRY WHICH YOU HAVE RECEIVED IN THE LORD, THAT YOU MAY FULFILL IT ( COLOSSIANS 4 : 17 ). ******************************************************* To read more devotions, kindly visit and like the page https://facebook/pages/A-Sojourners-Diary/256133821230216 To receive articles by email, kindly provide your mail id at the Sojourners Diary blog georgeamalanathan.wordpress/
