—Daniel 6:10-14
by: Linda Harris.
Once again, Daniel could have altered his actions and rationalized it. He could have prayed in a less conspicuous way or abstained for one month. But he refused to change his customary practices to avoid persecution. He believed, as Peter and the apostles did, “We must obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29).
If prayer became illegal, would you be caught? Do others know you as a person of prayer? Is it an occasional event or an ingrained habit in your life? Warren Wiersbe writes, “A believer who knows how to kneel in prayer has no problem standing in the strength of the Lord.”
