Today's Subject: In Times of Need
Scripture Text: Read Daniel 6:3-10
Three times a day [Daniel] got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.
--- Daniel 6:10 (NIV)
WITHOUT warning, I lost my job, and I left work the day my notice was given. That evening, I adopted my usual habit of Bible reading and prayer but was interrupted by a call from a friend whom I had e-mailed earlier with my news. During our conversation, I read her a phrase from the Bible that had caught my attention. "The last thing I expected you to be doing was reading the Bible!" she exclaimed.
Like many people, I guess, I don't trust God unless I have to. As difficulties have come, I've learned not to reject God but to run to God. This has come about through my daily habit of praying and reading the Bible. These actions have deepened my relationship with and my dependence on God. I know that I need to establish the habit of listening to God in my everyday routine so that I will hear God's voice in times of need.
Trust is difficult, especially when our circumstances are hard and our questions aren't answered. Daniel had learned the secret: the habit of daily prayer. That practice offers us help in all of our challenges.
