For His Glory
Daniel
is saying, "O God, please forgive us. Remove the guilt." He's also
praying for the restoration of glory. Notice "for the Lord's sake."
Do
you know what so many of us are praying for? For America's sake. That
won't get it done. Or for our denomination's sake, our church's sake, or
even our family's sake. But Daniel is praying for not only the removal
of guilt but the restoration of glory (v. 18). When we get concerned for
the glory of God, then we're going to see our prayers answered. So many
times we're just simply trying to get out of difficulty. Do you pray
for the glory of God?
Do you know what most of us want? We want
revival so we can return to our own ways, once God gets us out of the
difficulty we're in. Do you have a burning, yearning in your heart for
the glory of God? Do you want to see God's glory spread over this land? I
want to see God do something again that cannot be explained by the
pundits on television and the news anchors.
