Daniel 7:13-14
13 “I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. 14 And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.
Instability, painful memories, and concern for the future can sneak up on us at the end of a year with the prospect of having to do it all again. We pray for our leaders and hope for a better tomorrow, but I don’t know how many of us connect our current experiences with the situations in the Bible. The book of Daniel takes place when the whole of Israel had been broken and burned with the people taken into captivity in Babylon. In the night, God gives captive Daniel a vision.
Daniel sees the Son of Man standing before God to receive the Kingdom that will never end. This King is becoming the King over an everlasting realm. Daniel looked upon the true foundation of our confidence. Imagine waking up with the confidence that God is still on His throne and that Jesus will reign forever. You live under that King and that Kingdom. Walk out in that confidence today.
Prayer prompt: Lord, I trust You have all of this world, with all of its pain, under complete control.
