Author: Daniel
Date: Late sixth century BC
Everyday Life Principles
Like Daniel, we must determine in our hearts that we will not defile ourselves, but that we will stay faithful to the Lord.
An excellent spirit is one of the be character qualities a person can have.
We must refuse to compromise or to allow the world's influence to cause us to turn from God.
Daniel is one of several biblical books that teach their lessons through a person's life. Two of the great lessons we learn from Daniel are excellence and courage.
Daniel 5:12 and Daniel 6:3 both tell us that Daniel had "an excellent spirit." Throughout the book of Daniel, we see him making excellent choices, and we read that he did things in an excellent way. But his choices and his actions were "fruits," not roots. The fruit of excellent decisions and behavior was rooted in his excellent spirit. As believers, you and I have God's Spirit living in us and we, like Daniel, can live with excellence because God is an excellent God!
Daniel also teaches us about courage. He was willing to suffer and even die for his beliefs. His courageous refusal to compromise landed him in a den of hungry lions, but God delivered him! Daniel ended up in a high government position; and the king of Babylon forsook his old ways, turned to God, and required his subjects to believe in God as well.
As you read the book of Daniel, I pray that you will be inpired to reach for higher levels of excellence in everything you do and taht your couage will be stirred. As we learn from Daniel, one uncompromising and brave person can change a nation!

God's Word
Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears and listens to and heeds My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him, and he [will eat] with Me.
(Revelation 3:20)
Revelation 3:20 teaches us that Jesus knocks at the door of many hearts right now, but we must remember that the doorknob is on our side. He is a gentleman; He will not force His way into our lives. We must welcome Him.

The Word of God
So then, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you may do, do all for the honor and glory of God.
(1 Corinthians 10:31)
Lift Point:
Real joy comes from being an empty vessel for God's use and glory, letting Him choose where He take you, what He does with you, when He is does it- and not arguing about it. Be willing to do everything for the honor and glory of God, as 1 Corinthians 10:31 instruct, and you will have great contentment and joy in your life.

The Bible
Only you be strong and very courageous, that you may do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you. Turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.
This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.
(Joshua 1:7,8)
Life Point
How much time do you spend thinking about the Word of God? The Bible says that if you want to find wise answers to you problems and be successful and prosperous in all your dealings, you need to meditate on the Word of God day and night (see Joshua 1:8).
For most of my life, I did not think about what I was thinking about. I simply thought whatever crossed my mind because I did not know that Satan could inject thoughts into my brain. Most of my thoughts were either lies from Satan or just plain nonsense-things that wasted my time because they were not truly important. The devil was controlling my life because he was controlling my thoughts. Meditate on God's Word and you can push back the enemy. When you fill your mind with God's truth, you will find that your thoughts are thoughts of truth, freedom, victory, and peace.

Be Strong and Courageous
Only you be strong and very courageous, that you may do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you.
(Joshua 1:7)
God wants us to be totally free from fear. He doesn't want us to live in torment, and He doesn't want fear to stop us from confidently doing what He tells us to do. God moves on our behalf when we focus on Him instead of on our fears, when we listen to His voice instead of the voice of fear. When we have fearful thoughts or feelings, our enemy , Satan, is simply trying to distract us from God and His will for our lives. We may feel fear is various times in our lives, but we can choose to trust God and, if we need to, "do it afraid."
God spoke to my heart about "do it afraid" many years ago. when He told Joshua to "fear not," He was warning him that fear would try to stop him from doing what God wanted him to do. God told Joshua not to allow fear to control him, but to keep moving forward, strong and full of courage.
When we feel afraid, that first thing we should do is pray. We should determine to seek God until we know we have emotional and mental victory over fear. As we do this, we are focusing on God instead of on our fears. We are worshipping Him for Who He is and expressing our appreciation for the good He has done, is doing, and will continue to do.
Next time you face fear in your life, remember to be strong and full of courage and to keep moving forward in God's will. Even if you have to do something afraid, go ahead and do it while staying focused on God instead of you fear.
GOD'S WORD FOR YOU TODAY: Follow the voice of God, not the voice of fear.
