But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever–yes, for ever and ever.’
(Daniel 7:18 (NIV))
God gave this promise to Daniel long before it will come to be. Daniel was speaking about a vision that he was given concerning the end of days, yet all of us can hold fast to that promise no matter when God will end the Age of the Gentiles.
All throughout the Bible, God gives us foresight into what will happen, and guess what? He wins. God does not wish for any to perish, but one day He will bring about an end to the evils of this world and establish His Kingdom. Those who believe and keep God’s commandments will inherit the Kingdom as Children of God.
What does your future look like? Will you receive and possess the kingdom as a saint or will you receive God’s punishment for refusing His love?

Be Still . . .

He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the LORD says to you: `Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.
(2 Chronicles 20:15 (NIV))
How often do we forget that the battle is God’s? If you are like me, it is probably all too often for your own tastes.
We all face our own “vast armies” on a daily basis that seem to distract us and keep our focus off of God. It is when we loose our focus on God that these distractions can overwhelm us just as the vast army discouraged King Jehoshaphat and all of the people who lived under his authority.
Our “vast armies” are many and range from extremely personal to vastly public. Society has made some shifts that I am sure are causing Satan to celebrate. Don’t let these discourage you. We are in a battle between the army of God and the army of Satan. It may appear that Satan is getting the upper hand, but take heart, read God’s Word. He wins!!!
We tend to forget that God does win, especially when we are right in the middle of the battlefield. It is hard to see the glorious victory when all around you is chaos. It is important to stay firmly grounded in God’s Word so that we will have the faith to take the words of 2 Chronicles 20:15 to heart, for the battle is truly not ours to fight. It is God’s!
Are you discouraged?
Kneel down and look up!
