How Are You Walking?

Daniel 6:10
10 Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.


Have you ever seen a pigeon before and noticed its funny walk? The reason it wobbles is so that it can see. Their vision is poor when they're moving so they have to focus with their head more or less. They move their head and stop - a lot!

You may think it's funny now, but how many times do we have a pigeon walk in our spiritual lives? Probably pretty often. When we're on the go, we have a hard time seeing clearly and just focusing on our purpose. In order to understand our purpose,however, we have to stop between steps, move our heads, and refocus on God so often. Not only that, but we have to stop, think, and make hundreds of decisions each day. It's okay to build-in stops to your daily Christian life to see and understand things in God's name.

Daniel stands out like a pigeon. He prays three times a day, which is something we should model. We should pray AT LEAST three times a day. As a result, we have to pause what we're doing and zero in on God instead. Don't worry about how you walk, but rather if you how you walk lets you see!
