Nothing to Alarm Us
"Go your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days."
~ Daniel 12:13
" We cannot understand all the prophecies, but we regard them with pleasure and not with dismay. There can be nothing in the Father's decree that should alarm His child. Though the earth be burned up, no smell of fire shall come upon the chosen. The Lord Jehovah will preserve His own.
Calmly resolute in duty, brave in conflict, patient in suffering, let us go our way, keeping to our road, neither swerving from it, nor loitering in it.
Rest will be ours. All other things swing to and fro, but our foundation stands sure. God rests in His love, and, therefore, we rest in it: Our peace is, and ever shall be, like a river. The God of Daniel will give a worthy portion to all who dare to be decided of truth and holiness as Daniel was. No den of lions shall deprive us of our sure inheritance." ( Charles H. Spurgeon One-Minute Devotions)
