Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. Daniel 6:10 KJV
We spend time each day doing the things on our daily checklists.
The lists can be written or something we think about.
In any case, we take the time to do them.
But no day is well spent without spending time with the Lord.
We should let nothing keep us from having a daily conversation with Him.
It should be the first thing on our lists.
That is what Daniel did.
He had a daily routine where he would kneel and pray three times a day.
Giving thanks before God.
Even when king Darius signed a decree that for thirty days no one could petition any god or man to do anything for them, he continued to pray.
He knew that he could not live a day without God.
He knew it was good to have hours of prayer.
We too must keep a regular time to for meeting with the Lord in prayer.
To consistently check ourselves to make sure that we do not get in the habit of not spending time with the Lord.
Have you met with the Lord yet today?
Have you set a regular time to come to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need? (Hebrews 4:16).
A WORD OF PRAYER
Lord, we Thank You for making it possible for us to come and talk with You all hours of the day. May we not neglect this time but pray our whole life through. Remembering that no day is well spent without spending time with You.
In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen
