I love how I learn when I study to teach! What a joy it continues to be for me, and what excitement it brings to my heart when God drives new thoughts home! As I have many times before, I taught my little preschoolers this morning about Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. It was the story of their refusal to eat the king's choice food and how God blessed them for their obedience.
What I loved today, as I taught, was this simple phrase, "Daniel made up his mind...". He made up his mind! Oh, how we need to learn that truth on so many levels. Just make up your mind. I know we have to have our blessed Spirit to guide us and give us strength. I know Jesus draws us to Himself. I know God is The Power to do it. And it is because I know these things that I must make up my mind not to sin. I must make up my mind to follow Him, live for Him, speak about Him and think about Him all the time. I must make up my mind daily, moment by moment. May we all rejoice in this liberating thought!
