Day 183 – April 27, 2024: Daniel 11-12 and Psalms 76-78

Daniel finishes up with a reminder that there actually is mention of the resurrection of the dead in the Old Testament. We find ourselves told that God will bring up from the dead His people when the end of all things are completed. And like that we finish Daniel, the last book of the Bible Chronologically, but not in the text itself.

We find in Psalm 78 an long account of what the people of God experienced in order to be liberated from Egypt and set free so that they could settle in the promised land. We are reminded that nothing can stand up to the power of the Lord, absolutely nothing and no one. As a result we find this promise that God will constantly be by our side quite convincing. But in our modern era we can easily be dissuaded from this truth by seeing what is happening around us and wondering what God is actually up to. If we but trust in him, then we could stand with him all of our days.
