Go Your Way

This morning was the last ladies' Bible Study about Daniel. This has been the most interesting, thought provoking and wonderful Bible Study I've done in a while. Beth Moore is seriously blessed by God with insight and knowledge about the Bible.

This study has opened my eyes to lies and taught me to live with integrity. Today's last session was on the last chapter of Daniel, and during our prayer time the presence of God was so there. It was wonderful. One of the women spoke a kind of benediction prayer over us all, as many of us are leaving for the States or another country and starting a new season in our lives. She spoke of new wine in new wine skins. How we cannot put our new wine into old wine skins or else the skins will break and the wine be wasted. That is how these new changes and seasons are. This is new wine, and we have to put it into new wine skins. That really spoke to me, because I keep trying to look at this change with the old glasses, and comparing it to the old way. But I've got to put it into the new wine skin, so the experiences aren't wasted.

Beth sent us off with the last scripture in Daniel,

“As for you, go your way till the end. You will rest, and then at the end of the days you will rise to receive your allotted inheritance.”

God really spoke to me through that scripture. I don't need to worry about the future, I will receive rest and my allotted inheritance. And it will be glorious!

In The Blair Affairs my heart was spoken to as well, with the idea that un-surrendered dreams are the most dangerous kind. And I had to ask what dreams have I not surrendered about going back to the States. It's easy to hold onto things, good things, bad things; and pretend that all is well. But anything that we don't surrender is likely to destroy us in the end. I want to be on my face before the Lamb of God and give absolutely everything, and then, "Go [my] way til the end..." And I will have rest and joy in the wonderful peace and love of Christ.
