Today's Rambling:

Does Prayer work?

In the book of Daniel, we see that Daniel's faithfulness to God and devotion to his prayer life helps lead him through much persecution.  Daniel is thrown to the lions by King Darius, who was tricked by others into issuing a decree that all subjects shall worship the King and the King alone.  Daniel, was faithful to God alone and would not worship the King as the decree instructed.  King Darius trusted Daniel, however his decree must be followed.  Thus, Daniel was thrown into the lions' den.  King Darius did not sleep that night and upon first light, went to see if Daniel had survived.  Miraculouly, he had.  Daniel was freed and in his place, the individuals who had tricked King Darius were thrown into the lions' den with their entire families.

Where are we in our faith today?  Do we really believe that God will protect?  Do we worship him and pray without ceasing, using words when necessary?

If you are like me, you fall short of this.  The good news is that God allows us to grow from our mistakes and provides us with new opportunities.

So, I leave you today with this thought for yourself, "if you are praying for rain, do you have your umbrella ready?"
