Habits

“But Daniel was determined not to defile himself by eating the food and wine given to them by the king. He asked the chief of staff for permission not to eat these unacceptable foods.”
Daniel 1:8 (NLT)

Determination will always be a plus when we decide to change our habits.

Like Pastor Dan reminded us on Sunday, not all habits are bad or lead us away from Jesus. In this passage Daniel was forced to change his habits and lifestyle. He was now in captivity and was determined not to defile himself before God. This should be our goal. We need to purpose in our heart not to defile ourselves with the habits that are contrary with what the Lord desires for us.

Let us focus our heart on what Jesus approves and seek the Holy Spirit to give us the power to change bad habits.

Thank you, Lord, for Your word. Thank you, Lord, You are for us.

Please continue to pray for yourself and your loved ones.
