Introduction
One of the worst fears of parents today is child abduction.
A memory of me and my brother walking home from the store and a stranger wanting to give us a ride home.
It reminds me of another story about some boys that were abducted and taken to a foreign land.
These were boys of wealth and prestige.
When the world hits it care how much money you have or the position you hold.
It seems that tragedy comes to visit everyone eventually.
Daniel 1:
So what do you do when you are hit by the world.
How do we navigate the crooked and perverse generation that we live in and still honor the Lord with our lives.
This is what we will find in the book of Daniel.
These conquered and stolen boys will grow into men of God that will change a nation and even the course of the entire world.
Bible Lesson
Daniel 1:
The Resolution of the Heart determines your Course of Action.
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
double mindedness is knowing one thing and doing another.
“I Know.”
A double minded man finds himself knowing right and doing wrong.
Ps 119:
Ps 119:116
Ps 119:
A heart that delights in the Word of God is blessed.
The Resolution of your Heart determines God’s Response.
Dan
God is working behind the scenes to bring about blessing and protection.
Even when the world doesn’t trust in God he can use them for your good.
Daniel 1:
God can move the hearts of kings.
Dan 1:12-
The Wisdom of God’s word can always be seen in the lives of believers.
My life is better because of God’s Word.
My relationships are better because of God’s Word.
My family is better.
My finances are better.
My kids are better.
My outlook on life is better.
My hope is better because of God’s Word.
Dan 1:15
The Resolution of your Heart Brings Rewards.
Dan 1:
Those that walk in wisdom gain more wisdom.
Those that reject wisdom even what they have is taken away.
When you despise wisdom it is taken away.
When you walk in the ways of the Lord you stand before kings.
Dan 1:19-
Conclusion
Some of you are so double minded you can’t think straight.
The world is pulling you one way, but you know that’s not the way of the Lord.
The battle is always in the mind.
When are you going to resolve in your heart not to defile yourself with this world.
When will you draw close to God and watch him draw close to you.
Many of you are worried about making the changes to draw near to God, but that’s not where it starts: It starts with the Resolution of the Heart.
