Choosing the hill you die on is a very apt description of choosing your battles wisely. There are conflicts that come our way daily and we must ask ourselves if we should engage in each one and wither away and die engaged in too many battles that distract from our real battle. “Sufficient today is the evil that you have to deal with. Don’t worry about tomorrow”.

We must be sober and vigilant to engage in those battles that determine our destiny. That is why Daniel chose to battle in prayer rather than be distracted by the noise of the trumpets that sounded to say he should not pray to anyone else but the king. Daniel knew his destiny and he chose his battle. He chose prayer to the one true God. He chose destiny.

Don’t be distracted by those who seek to distract us from the greater purpose. I have come to learn that if you focus on God… He will fight your battles for you. Focus. Let us be clear on our mission and choose carefully which hill we are willing to die on.
