Conclusion:
The prideful treasures of this old world will indeed all burn up one day and disappear as the dust blowing across the land…but Conqueror’s Class, I want you to remember something today…God’s Word never changes! And there is no one who can continue to defy the Lord God who made Heaven and Earth, and get away with it! There is coming a day of reckoning…a day when everyone will be weighed in the balance of God’s holy righteousness…please, don’t be found wanting in that day!
Child of God, keep your eyes on Jesus and always remember that our God is still in control!
And as God blessed and honoured Daniel for his faithfulness, so God will do the same for you and for me, if only we will choose to remain faithful unto Him through all the trials, and testing, and heartaches, and decisions that come our way!
Stay faithful, child of God and march forward, dear Christian Soldier!
