Inheritance
Read Daniel 12.5-13
“.. 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” (Dan.12.13)
Here’s the conclusion to a story which began when, as a teenager, Daniel ‘resolved not to defile himself’ (Dan.1.8): there will come a day when the direction of our living becomes fixed, either towards the Lord or away from Him. Be wise!
Daniel is told to ‘Go your way’ (vv.9 & 13 – lit. ‘walk’): it’s the call to keep on ‘walking with God’ (Mic.6.8). What will ‘walking with God’ mean for you?
What is the inheritance promised to you in Christ (see 1 Pet.1.3-9)?
Prayer: To an inheritance divine You teach our hearts to rise: how glad I am, my Lord and Saviour, that that inheritance is uncorrupted, undefiled and unfading in the skies!
