Whenever I sit down to watch a movie, the moment the characters round off the action and "The End" appears on the screen, I instinctively switch off the device or move on to the next film.
But today, while meditating on the story of Daniel, the Holy Spirit highlighted something profound: what looked like the end for Daniel was actually the beginning of something greater.
If Daniel’s story had ended with his captivity (Daniel 1:1–6), we would never have known the man God raised up as a result of his consecration and faithfulness.
Just like many movies that end with *“To be continued…” or a teaser line like “Merlin will be back”, God also writes comeback stories.
Your captivity is not the end.
It might just be the beginning of a powerful series—a journey of faith, tests, and divine lifting.
Daniel’s life teaches us that:
- You can have deep faith and still face lions (Daniel 6:16–23).
- You can walk with God and still go through fire (Daniel 3:19–27).
- You can love God and still be threatened with death.
But none of these experiences change God’s love or His commitment to you (Romans 8:35–39).
Every time life tries to write “The End” over your story, by faith, you can replace it with:
“To be continued… by God.”
If Jesus' story didn’t end in the grave but rose in victory (Luke 24:6–7), then that’s your cue: your story isn’t over either.
A victorious chapter awaits if you will stay with the Lord.
Yes, these words may sound familiar. You may have heard them over and over.
But during a prayer session, JJ said something simple yet eternal:
“Jesus is the answer.”
And it’s true.
Life will always ask questions—through pain, rejection, fear, failure, doubt, sickness, divorce, famine, war, poverty...
But can we respond with trust?
Jesus is the answer.
And through Him—you are a vessel of that answer.
Jesus is the answer.
Stay revived!
