Read today’s texts first: Daniel 7,8; Psalm 137; Luke 4
MAXIMize YOUR DAY
Live each day with the “End” in sight!
Anyone who doubts the Bible is God’s Word needs to read from the book of Daniel. He had three separate visions, in chapters 2, 3 and 8, involving different images but the same interpretation. Daniel, through God-given insight, predicted the rise and fall of four major world powers before they happened.
There is nothing more compelling than fulfilled prophecy - not the generalized mumbo jumbo of today’s astrologers, but the kind of striking details given in Scripture, with the historical documentation to prove they were written hundreds of years before they came to pass. Coincidence? The laws of probability say “impossible!”
With that sense of overwhelming confidence in God’s Word, consider the end result of the vision in chapter 7:17,18. Yes, in the final conflict the saints will come under attack by the Antichrist and the god of this world who empowers him, but the end is inevitable:
But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever. Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be handed over to the saints, the people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him. This is the end of the matter. (7:26-28)
“Lord, may I never doubt Your Word or Your promise. I can’t fail when I’m partnered with the Ancient of Days (7:13, 22), the Beginning and the End. Lord, may I live today with the End in sight!”
