Show yourself in all respects a model of good works.  Titus 2:7

Lord, thank you for calling me to yourself and then giving me your
Spirit to strengthen me – heart, soul, mind, and body – to work in
ways that bring honor to you.  This goal of being a model of good
works in every respect makes me realize how much I need you
each moment.  And as I grow in a life of doing what is right and
true and good, help me grow in humility as well, remembering that
you are the source of my strength.

Amen!

In one of the most dramatic examples of waiting in the Bible, Daniel prays for people who had been oppressed for seventy years. He abstained from food and drink for twenty-one days, as he labored in prayer, persisted, pleaded, and agonized. No response. On the twenty-second day an angel of God appeared. He revealed to Daniel that his prayer had been heard on the first day.

From an earthly perspective, nothing was happening. But from a heavenly perspective a battle was raging in the heavens. God was working! What if Daniel had given up…lost faith…or walked away from God? Consider these better questions: What if you give up? Lose faith? Walk away? Don’t! God is at work. Keep waiting!
