Main Idea:
New Year’s resolutions often aim at appearances instead of formation, confusing inspiration with transformation. Daniel’s faith endured not because of emotional passion, but because of consistent obedience practiced “as he had done before.” Lasting faith isn’t about starting strong, it’s about showing up faithfully over time.
The Wish For A Better life
Most Resolutions Fail Because They Rely On Motivation
Daniel’s Faith Was Built On Consistency Not Integrity
- Daniel was probably in his 80’s when Daniel 6 was written. He’s lived in exile under pressure, and had his identity removed.
- Read Daniel 6:3-5
- Read Daniel 6:6-7
- Read Daniel 6:8-9
- Human authority has limits. God does not.
Rhythms Shape the Soul When Feelings Fade
Call To Action
- Don’t make ten resolutions. Make one rhythm.. One time. One place. One practice.
