Daniel 12 - Praying God's Word

 

Please read Daniel 12.

Meditate on this command in verse 13.

 

But as for you, go to the end.

 

Ponder these truths about Daniel:

 

*  God introduced Daniel when he was approximately 15 years old, a youth who made up his mind not to defile himself (Daniel 1:3-8).

 

*  Daniel served under pagan, human kings - 8 kings and 2 world kingdoms for approximately 66 years (Daniel 1:21; 5:30-31).  

 

*  Daniel interpreted the dreams and visions of kings from the age of 16 until he was in his 80’s (Dan. 2; 4; 5).

 

*  Daniel was given visions of kings and kingdoms (at least 20 kings and 5 kingdoms) from the time he was approximately 67 years old until he was 85 years old (Daniel 7-12).

 

*Daniel’s calling when he was in his 80’s (v. 13): “Go to the end!”

 

God’s calling on your life is the same - keep going!  No matter how old or young you are, God wants faithful people to make up their mind to faithfully serve Him, giving a lost world insight into who He is. 

 

Pray Daniel 12:10 and 13 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, purge, purify, and refine _________ and me.

Please give us insight to understand.

Strengthen us to go to the end.  Let us enter into rest and

rise again for our allotted portion at the end of the age.

Because we belong to You, Jesus~”
