Day 334 Daniel 7:1-8:14; 1 John 2:12-27; Psalm 136:13-26 Daniel 7:13-14 looks forward, prophetically, to the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is the future towards which history is moving, the future towards which God is working, the future of the Kingdom of God. This world is passing away, "but the man who does the will of God lives for ever" (1 John 2:17).

They delight in doing God’s will: “Your commands are my delight” ( Psalm 119:143 ). Day 305 Joel 2:18-3:21 ;  Hebrews 4:1-13 ;  Psalm 119:145-152 As in Hebrews 3, we find again, in Hebrews 4, the words, “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts” ( Hebrews 4:7 ). The Word of God speaks of “the coming of the great and dreadful Day of the Lord” ( Joel 2:31 ). We are called to decision - “Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision” ( Joel 3:14 ). To those who are in the valley of decision, God says, ‘Everyone who
