Just now I
closed out the study of the book of Daniel, the teacher told us from the
beginning we were “in for the ride of our lives” and it didn’t disappoint. As the final session closed and the
realization that the end was here, my eyes welled up, my soul trembled. Sweet yet bitter, the work is done, but the
ride is over.
Quite an
intense study, there were days I just did not understand and in the end I see
words of Daniel himself, “I heard but I did not understand”. Oh I love God that he would let us know that
at times even his prophets didn’t understand…that He would send us onward anyway. Go your way to the end, rest and rise …
From the
beginning of the book to the end of the book of Daniel I was amazed, I was
taught, I was shaking my head YES and tilting my head HUH? As I stood during the closing prayer, hands
lifted, praising our God the Father, praying, Your kingdom come on earth as it
is in heaven, my heart strangely jumping in my chest. Praise You Father, praise You for Your Words,
for taking me this far.
Bitter, the
study is done, sweet the reminder of the teacher, Beth Moore, STAY IN THE
WORD!! Done with this particular study
but far from done of our studying. I
echo her words, Sisters and Brothers, STAY IN THE WORD! J
2 Timothy 3:15-17
All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
