Lead People to Righteousness

 Scripture:

"Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like stars forever." (Daniel 12:3)

Observation:

Daniel is speaking here about what we would call the Last Days. He speaks about nations and what they will be doing in those days, then he drops this verse. He says the wise and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like stars forever. 

Application:

I have always had a heart to lead people to Jesus and, through Him, to righteousness. I want to lead more people to Christ in my latter years than in my former years. He is worthy of my very best, and I want to serve Him well in my generation. I'm not as concerned about shining like the stars, but I do want people to know Jesus and want to lead as many to Him as possible throughout my life.

Prayer:

Father, I  know I go through seasons where I am stronger in evangelism. Help me to walk in obedience to You and see more people saved in my latter years than the rest of my life combined. Help me to see people who need Jesus. I want to see more and more people turn their lives over to You and begin following Your ways. Empower me to be a better witness for You.

Yours,

Jeff
