S – But as for you, go on your way to the end; you will rest, and then you will stand to receive^am your allotted inheritance at the end of the days.” 

Daniel 12:13 CSB

O – Commentary:

Daniel did not live to see many of his prophecies fulfilled. He, the angel said, would rest, that is, in death (cf. v. 2). But he will be resurrected (you will rise at the end of the days), and he will receive his allotted inheritance in the Millennium. Because of Daniel’s faith in God he led a life of faithful service for Him, and for that faith and that obedience he will receive a glorious reward. All who like Daniel trust the Lord will share in the blessings of His millennial kingdom.

A – This is what I want in my life – to finish strong.  Daniel obey and was used by God powerfully in his life. He finished strong in a life filled with some tremendously difficult challenges.  He was faithful to God daily and did what asked in adversity.  Let’s have the same conviction Daniel did.

R – Heavenly Father, you are generous and loving.  Empower us with strength and conviction to obey and be faithful to you.  We want our relationship with you to impact others with your love and glory.  Help us to finish strong and honor you.
