"The Great Prince Who Stands Watch Over the Sons of Your People"

"At that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time.  And at that time your people shall be delivered, every one who is found written in the book.  And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt.  Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever." (Daniel 12:1-3)

Proverbs 12:25 says, "Anxiety (fear, dread, heaviness) in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad."  The above, "word," made me, "glad," this morning.  This is the affect of the Words of God.

This text is for all of us Gentile Believers in Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:14).  Notice some things from this, "good word."  First, "Michael...stands watch over the sons of your people."  If you check the record of Michael, he's pretty good at what he does.  Second, there will be, "a time of trouble," which the world had never seen, but don't worry.  If we are, "alive and remain," when that happens, "At that time your people (you and me) shall be delivered, every one who is found written in the book."  Third, in That Day, I, "shall awake...to everlasting life," and join those, "who are wise," and, "shine like the brightness of the firmament."

Well, this should keep you going----- at least for today.  There is always, "a good word," awaiting the hungry in Jesus Christ.  He is very good at providing a continual feast of, "a good word."

Father, in Jesus' Name, thank You for including me in, "the sons of your people."  Amen.
