He brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits wide on the one side, and six cubits…He brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits wide on the one side, and six cubits wide on the other side, which was the width of the tent." To people whose temple lay in rubble, God gave measurements. Not vague comfort, a blueprint. And that width matched the old wilderness tent. What He began, He has not abandoned. Where your life feels demolished, He is still measuring.

The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?
But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart." Jesus doesn't scold their grief. He names…But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart." Jesus doesn't scold their grief. He names it. Yet notice what sorrow crowded out: nobody asked where he was going. Pain can fill the heart so completely there's no room left to wonder what God is doing. What question has your sadness silenced?
Thank You that my own eyes get to see what You do, so that the words "Yahweh is great" come…Thank You that my own eyes get to see what You do, so that the words "Yahweh is great" come from real sight and not just hearsay. Thank You that Your greatness runs past every border, reaching places and people I would never have thought to look.
Father, thank you for setting places of safety within reach, never far from anyone running scared. When I have done…Father, thank you for setting places of safety within reach, never far from anyone running scared. When I have done harm I never meant, and when I fear the weight of it, let me run to you and find mercy waiting. Make me that kind of shelter for others.

Paul names three groups, which is his way of saying everyone. Your freedom is real, but he asks you to watch the ground where other people walk. Not only, was I within my rights? But also, did anyone trip over me today?

But before the asking, "God made Daniel to find kindness and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs." God had already softened that man's heart while Daniel was still rehearsing his words. Whose heart has He gone ahead to prepare for you?
