The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?
Epaphras never stood in a pulpit in those pages. His work was prayer, "always striving for you in his prayers."…Epaphras never stood in a pulpit in those pages. His work was prayer, "always striving for you in his prayers." And Paul tells the church: I have seen it. Someone may be carrying you right now in a room you will never enter. Who are the three towns on your heart, and when did you last labor for them?
Paul calls it the wisdom "which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory." Before light, before oceans, before anyone…Paul calls it the wisdom "which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory." Before light, before oceans, before anyone spoke your name, the plan already included you. It stayed hidden, not to lock you out, but until the cross could say it plainly. When your life feels small, remember what was settled about you before time began.

Keep me honest. Let what I say to others be something I'm actually living, and where it isn't, show me gently and change me.

Paul isn't pointing at your worst moments. He's pointing at where your thoughts go when nothing demands them. What fills the quiet minute in line, or the long dark one at 3am? That drift tells you which life is feeding you.
Thank You that he who overcomes won't be harmed by the second death. Because of Jesus, the grave is not…Thank You that he who overcomes won't be harmed by the second death. Because of Jesus, the grave is not my ending, and I can face hard days without that dread. Thank You for ears to hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies, and for holding me there.
