Daniel
Consistency in worship
How many times have you heard a lament about the impotence of the modern church? It is no wonder since we are a generation that has very little tolerance for discipline as it has been practiced by the great saints throughout the ages. We want an instant cure, a pill we can pop, three easy steps, or a guaranteed ticket to easy success. If we are going to see God move among us and use us mightily as He has with previous generations of saints, we must uncover their secret.
(Daniel 6) The worship life of Daniel is one of the best examples that comes to mind when we approach the subject of consistency in worship. Even under threat of becoming dinner for a pride of hungry lions, Daniel chose to be consistent in his worship, kneeling to pray three times each day. It is no wonder that God consistently honored Daniel, because Daniel consistently honored God.
I am not advertising a secret formula for spiritual prowess here – but you can be sure that those who will be used mightily in a positive way (as opposed to how Pharoah was used) by God will be those who exercise consistency in their worship. Failing to consistently nurture our spiritual relationship with worship, prayer, and meditation on God’s Word is a sure recipe for disaster. Even if God is already using you as a vessel of His might, you would do well to jealously guard the source of your strength lest you end up like Samson.
