S. O. A. P.

Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional!

S-cripture:

Daniel 12:13

As for you, 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.

O-bservation:

Daniel had served under four different Kings during his lifetime, and he served all of them as a slave. He was faithful to each, but mostly Daniel was unwavering in his service under the Lord. He had been given an awesome vision of the end of the world, and after it was over God said to him in this last verse of the book of Daniel, “Stay the course till you pass, and at the end of the world as we know it you will raise back to life and be rewarded for all you have done unto Me.

A-pplication:

Here’s the cold hard fact! All of us will one day pass away (Heb. 9:27). Jesus promised, however, that one day we will receive an eternal reward for our service unto Him here on this earth. So often people are excited about their eternal reward, and that is a good thing. However, I must say that more than a reward or inheritance, I’m just thankful that after death … “We Will Rise!” I mean think about it. I have spoken to countless people in my life who do not have this hope. They live for today, and if they can’t prove it scientifically they won’t believe and are convinced they will only return to the dirt when they die. Thank God today that for “Followers of Jesus” … “We Will Rise!”

P-rayer:

Dear Jesus,

Thank You this AM that I have hope of eternal life, and that after I die … “I Will Rise!” Amen
