"Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand."
Daniel 12:10
I've talked about this scripture before, but you know... it just hit me again today. If there is no other reason at all for being righteous and being on God's side... it is this. The wise shall understand, and the wicked won't. In fact, in this scripture, "wise" is the opposite of "wicked" ... wise equals good, or righteous. As we do what God asks us to, we gain wisdom and understanding. And as we fall away from God, we actually lose those things. I think that is the scariest part of the whole thing... losing some of who you are. And it is an *important* part. The part that seeks truth, the part that loves knowledge. When we give up God, we give up SO much, because God is who offers it to us. Today, let's remember... God is about knowledge and clarity. When we are confused or lost... that usually means we need to get back in touch with him. He wants us to find the truth, and embrace it.
