Daniel 4

 The resolve to not be defiled and polities by the distractions around us takes guts and determination. But fortunately Hia grace is sufficient for our weakness and fear. Dani demonstrates courage by asking permission. We don’t need permission to avoid temptations in our culture but we often get the social consequences. FOMO - fear of missing out needs to be replaced with JOMO - joy of missing out - developing a more intimate relationship with Christ. 

“For many of us the great danger is not that we will renounce our faith. It is that we will become so distracted and rushed and preoccupied that we will settle for a mediocre version of it. We will just skim our lives instead of actually living them.” - John Mark Comer, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry
