Daily devotion – Things can change!
Dan 10:12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.
Have you ever felt pretty helpless and unable to see things change?
Man, by our very nature, often feels bound by time and space. As if things will happen only by fate. But there is no such thing as fate!
But God does not leave us helpless whilst He simply watches on. No, God invades our world and in Daniel chapter 10 this is exactly what happened as Daniel toiled in earnest heartfelt prayer for His people Israel.
Prayer is the key, the marvellous gift that God has made available to each of us who call Christ Saviour and Lord.
God wants to and can and does intervene in what we often think is unchangeable when we bring the matter to Him in prayer. He gets to work when we pray!
Jesus said, in Mat 7:7 “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”
James went on to put it even more succinct – he said, James 4:2 ….yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
This week, set your heart to prayer, and you will begin to see things that you thought could never change, turn to the glory of God!
