Daniel 9:2-3 - “in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years specified by the word of the LORD through Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. Then I set my face toward the Lord God to make request by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.”
There is one established truth in scripture that your life will be changed as your mind is transformed. The Apostle Paul established this in Romans 12:2 (NLT); “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think….” So we see that a person is changed in accordance to their thinking.
Further to this, it is also true that when people act, it is in accordance to their thinking. And one factor that determines how one thinks is the knowledge available to them. So, when we read in our anchor scripture, we see that Daniel “understood by the books the number of the years”. This understanding came through knowledge which inspired his thinking which then influenced his action to “set my face toward the Lord God to make request by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.”
Through a mind renewed by knowledge, he was able to take the action of praying to the Lord about the Word He has spoken previously to Prophet Jeremiah concerning what He would do for Israel. Beloved, renew your mind by the Word. Without your thinking changing to align with what God has said, you will not be able to take advantage of what He has said in the face of any oppositions. A mind renewed by knowledge is a wise mind. Keep renewing your mind with the Word.
Prayer: My mind is gloriously blessed and sound to contemplate excellent things. As I yield my mind to truth and insights from the Word, I am inspired to think Right thoughts by the Spirit and to act with excellence and grace, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
