God’s final word to Daniel was the word I chewed on this morning. "As for you, go your way till the end. You will rest, and then at the end of the days you will rise to receive your allotted inheritance" (13).
I have the impression that Daniel was yearning for more information. “When will all this happen, Lord? Tell me.”
After God gives out the info He wants to give away, the Lord brings the episode to a close with those final words to Daniel… "As for you, go your way till the end. You will rest, and then at the end of the days you will rise to receive your allotted inheritance."
Enough Daniel, here’s how you (a person wanting to obey and follow me) should live:
Go your way… continue to live faithfully.
You will rest… until you die.
Then at the end of the days you will rise to receive your allotted inheritance… when the end comes you will receive your reward.
Not a bad way for all of us to live!
Continue to live faithfully until you die and when the end comes, you will receive your reward.
We may not have all the answers we want, but the One we serve, follow, and obey does. And this is a life that pleases Him.
Lord, I have prayed before and I continue to pray. Help me to be a Daniel, a man of faith who lives faithfully for You day in and day out and trusts You with the rest. Amen.
