09/19/12 - Daniel 10 - 12

S - Daniel 10:10 - And behold, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.  11 And he said to me, "O Daniel, man greatly loved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for now I have been sent to you."  And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood up trembling.  12 Then he said to me, "Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words.
18 Again one having the appearance of a man touched me and strengthened me.  19 And he said, "O man greatly loved, fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage."  And as he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, "Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me."

O - My child whom I love, today I want to tell you . . . fear not for you, like Daniel, are a man greatly loved.  I want you to understand the words that I have sent to you in my Word.  Also, like Daniel, from the first day that you set your heart to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard.  I am longing to help you understand the words that you are reading each day.  Keep reading and keep looking to me for the understanding.  I will continue to guide you and speak to you.

A - I must continue to read God's Word each day, asking him for the understanding of what I am reading.  I must continue to listen to him as he speaks to me while I am reading.  I must continue to speak to him and ask him for wisdom and guidance.  And most importantly, I must continue to live my life as an example of what he wants a person to be.

P - Heavenly Father, thank you for guiding me and strengthening me each day.  Thank you for the wisdom to understand your Word.  Forgive me for the times when I do not spend the time to speak to you and listen to you each day.  Forgive me for the times when I try to do things on my own.  Help me to stay focused as I approach you each day and listen to the words that you are speaking to me.
