it's reli not abt me...: purpose in my heart...

revisited Dan 1:8-21. Daniel knowing who his God is purposed in his heart not to defile himself but made concrete measures in his life to stay "set-apart". He put into practice that good thing tat was revealed to him through God. So i spent the morning thinking, reading and just praying. Looking on my life, its not tat disciplined as it should(and i just came frm army?) and I see tat i never did like Daniel. ya i said i will. but concretely? Did i purpose it with God? many a times we just say say but we never do it, we say things of ppl, bks and stuff, but hv we talked to em(gave a chance to practice grace), read em(gave a chance to exercise wisdom and discernment) and stuff.

So ultimately wats the manual of my life? its not just bks written by many authors or bestsellers(i'm speaking of them christian bks) but ultimately I hold fast to the word revealed by God to me. The word tat i Hold. THE B.I.B.L.E. There can be many contemporary authors commenting on this bk and they can be powerful, but not as powerful as the bible is. and when it speaks, its inexhaustable just like it did today. Daniel did wat he knew pleased his master. So wat are u purposing in ur heart to do daily? I've made a purpose to wake up daily and practice spiritual disciplines. I know it sounds like its easy for me. BUt let me tell ya a secret, I've struggled with them. But for the past 2days, I've realised and God helped me realise tat i needed to buck up on this part of my life and its not just for the camp, but for my life. Its not abt me. Its abt God and He is helping me appreciate who He made for His purpose.

So how has the word spoken to ya today? How has Jesus the word(John 1) spoken to ya today? Let the word speak.

Word of GOd speak, pour down like rain...wash my eyes to see your majesty...
