What is your God-given purpose in life? Are you living in a way that reflects your beliefs? Is your energy spent to build deeper faith within?
Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the (meal) portion of the king’s… Daniel 1:18
Daniel’s personal integrity is reflected in his decision, while in captivity, to decline the king’s rich food and stick with clean eating to nourish the health of his body before battle. It was risky. He and his men stood firm in this decision because of their closeness with God.
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? 1 Corinthians 6:19
Are you committed to living authentically in faith every day no matter the hardship? Is your daily life reflective of your testimony to God?
Today, examine your heart posture and make the decision to feed the Holy Spirit within not only with nourishing food, but also in prayer, diving deep into His Word, and spending time with God, alone and in the community of faith.
Jesus did not burn out because He stayed close to God, in prayer, in conversation, and in rest amid His purpose on earth. Will you walk this road in His Way?
