(Daniel 6:1-28) I’m always amazed by so many people in the scriptures and the faith that they had. I’ve heard it said too that if, as a Christian, there is little spiritual warefare going on in your life then you’re probably no threat to Satan. Those like Daniel are certainly ones that pose a threat to Satan. That kind of faith and devotion to God in their lives is the kind of faith and life that I desire for my own life. It seems like it can be so easy to be caught up in the eternally meaningless things of life and totally miss what God really has for us. I don’t want to live a life of comfort and ease, I want a life full of adventure where I need to rely on God for it all. I know that I must be crazy to desire such a life. It would seem that I’m asking for a life of hardship. If we are to truely be followers of Christ then having a life that has trouble in it is exactly the way Christ explained it to be. Anything we might go through in this life as a follower of Christ is nothing compared to what Christ did for us on the cross.

(Proverbs 1:1-9) The devotional this morning hit me where it counts, sort of. Taking a little poke at the whole Web/Internet. Basically, with the Internet so prevalent in homes today there is a vast amount of information available to us.

Solomon was given great wisdom, beyond what we could ever hope to attain, and much of that wisdom is found in the book of Proverbs.

(Nehemiah 4:1-23) In our lives we face many challenges, and yet as Christians we have one amazing promise. We have God’s promise of being with us until the end, helping us carry out His plan. We can choose to go it alone, and struggle and fight through the challenges, and sometimes we may even get through them. However, the hardship we face trying to go it alone will be so much greater than when we have God on our side, giving us what we need to get through.

(Nehemiah 1:1-11) Nehemiah, like most men had a hard time admitting he was wrong, but in the end he did. One of the greatest characteristics of a leader is one who can openly admit when they are wrong, this is what God calls us to do. As leaders we are called to be examples to others of how we are to live out our lives following Christ. I ask that God would continue to shape me into the kind of follower He calls me to be.
