Would you take time to worship in another time zone? Daniel 7-12

Daniel is my hero. Yes, he did some great things ... the lion's den thing was quite cool. It is easy to admire and put Daniel up as your hero when you read his great accomplishments and his deep, deep prophecies. However, what makes Daniel a hero for me is his attention to obeying the little things of God's Word. In 9:21 we read that Daniel was praying "at the time of the evening sacrifice". We have to ask the question, "Was there an evening sacrifice in Babylon?" Apparently, Daniel still had his watch set for Jerusalem time. Daniel had been in Babylon for quite some time by this chapter. Most people would have changed their watch by now. When I traveled to a city with a different time frame I would change my watch immediately. Daniel, however, obeyed God no matter where he was and no matter what others said, and, no matter the time zone. Some believers in the church today have trouble being in church when they are home but less on vacation ... in another time frame. Daniel had an encounter with God because he was where God expected him to be ... worshiping at the evening sacrifice. Many people wonder why God doesn't act in their lives and yet, they seldom come to God to worship to give God an opportunity to work in this lives. God sends His holy angels and other messengers to us when we are in places we are supposed to be. Yes, worship is a time to come to God ... but God often uses those times to come to us.
