Victory of the Saints
There Is None Higher
Do you ever wonder what in the world is going to happen?
Wars and rumors of war seem to increase in spite of temporary peace agreements between nations. Hostility, not peace, is an ever-present undercurrent in spite of who is sitting in power.
In the book of Daniel, he records God’s vision to him of future events. There will be a war and God’s saints, believers, will be overpowered until the One who is more powerful than any other, the Highest One, steps in.
He writes, “I kept looking, and that horn was waging war with the saints and overpowering them until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was passed in favor of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom” (Daniel 7:21-22).
In the midst of Daniel’s prophetic vision of end times, one fact is clear. God is the Highest One and believers, who are referred to as “saints” belong to Him and His kingdom.
Do you feel as I do—honored to be on the Highest One’s side? And not only to be on His side, but also identified as His saint: forgiven, cleansed of sin, and gifted with His Spirit?
When you hear discouraging news or someone comments, “I wonder what in the world is going to happen,” assure them. The Lord, the Highest One, will prevail.” In the meantime, look to Him, pray to Him. Live for Him.
Lord, there is none like You. You are the exalted HIGHEST ONE. I worship and praise You and am honored to be called Your saint.
