“Daniel knelt down on his knees three times THAT DAY, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his CUSTOM since EARLY DAYS.” (Dan 6:10b)
THE DAY when CRISIS befell Daniel and he was faced with the prospect of certain death in the lion’s den, he did nothing differently to what he was ACCUSTOMED to doing EACH DAY. The day he heard of the plot to destroy him, he went home, knelt down, and prayed with thanksgiving three times. What he was accustomed to doing since “EARLY DAYS”, saved him “THAT DAY”.
His DAILY CUSTOM saved him in the DAY OF CRISIS. When crisis hits us, many are reactionary and frantically install specific behavioural or mindset responses in the moment. Usually, we adopt positions to face the crisis, but then tend to neglect these when the crisis abates or ends.
You cannot build IN crisis; You must build FOR crisis - ask Noah!
Who knows what the forthcoming year holds for us. I encourage you to solidly install spiritual disciplines of bible reading/study, prayer, fasting, church attendance, connection to authentic apostolic fathering grace, love, forgiveness, etc. as your CUSTOM which will preserve you in the DAY of CRISIS.
Customise your life daily for the day of Crisis.
