Read Daniel chapter 12

VERSE:

Daniel 12:3–Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens and those who lead many to righteousness like the stars for ever and ever.

TRUTH:

How do we define being wise? What does wisdom look like? This verse answers both of those questions, but not in the way we would expect. Wisdom is equated with leading others to righteousness. We can only be truly wise if we are leading and directing others toward the source of wisdom. That is what will endure and that is what will last. Those are the people who will shine like stars. Are we being wise in what we do each and every day? Are we leading and pointing others to Jesus Christ?

RESPONSE:

Father, I know that You are the One true and right thing and wisdom demands that I am leading others to You. If I am going to be truly wise, I must be moving and leading others to You each and every day through both my words and my actions. Give me the focus and the boldness to do that today.
