Now she says, "you will surely fall before him." Notice what nobody in that room suggests: turn back. Confess. Make it right. They can read the writing on the wall, yet repentance never crosses their minds. Is there a warning you keep analyzing instead of obeying?

The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?
Father, you hand me words that taste sweet and sit heavy, and then you send me out again. Give me…Father, you hand me words that taste sweet and sit heavy, and then you send me out again. Give me courage to speak what you've given, to whoever will listen, across every border and language. I'm willing. Steady my voice.
Notice Moses doesn't soften it: "You have sinned a great sin." No excuses made for them. And then he climbs…Notice Moses doesn't soften it: "You have sinned a great sin." No excuses made for them. And then he climbs the mountain anyway, saying "Perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin." Perhaps. No guarantee, just love willing to risk the climb. Who is climbing for you right now? And who are you willing to climb for?
Let no man say when he is tempted, 'I am tempted by God.'" It's an old habit, quietly making God…Let no man say when he is tempted, 'I am tempted by God.'" It's an old habit, quietly making God the author of our pull toward sin. But James insists there is nothing in him that leans that way. So the whisper you keep hearing is nearer than heaven. It's yours. Strangely, that's hope, because what is yours can be carried to him and healed.
Thank You, Father, that You don't impute my iniquity against me. The record I dreaded is cleared, and I can…Thank You, Father, that You don't impute my iniquity against me. The record I dreaded is cleared, and I can stop pretending. Thank You for making my spirit honest before You, where no deceit needs hiding anymore. That is real blessing.
In that day there will be a spring opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,…In that day there will be a spring opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness." Not a basin someone fills, a spring. It never runs low, never needs refilling. And it opens in the very city where they pierced Him and wept. Your worst place is where God starts the water.
