"Hear the words of this covenant, and do them." The word goes where people buy bread and argue over prices, because that is where covenant is kept or broken. Hearing isn't finished when the sermon ends. It finishes in your Monday. What did you hear last that you never did?

The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?
You are beautiful, my love, as Tirzah, lovely as Jerusalem, awesome as an army with banners." Remember where she has…You are beautiful, my love, as Tirzah, lovely as Jerusalem, awesome as an army with banners."
Remember where she has just been. She hesitated at the door, he was gone, she wandered the streets and was struck by the watchmen. And his first words back are not "why did you keep me waiting?" but "you are beautiful."
That is how love speaks after the failure. Does it surprise you that God would speak to you that way?
Father, keep my feet on the good road. When I drift toward easier paths, steady me, and surround me with…Father, keep my feet on the good road. When I drift toward easier paths, steady me, and surround me with people whose lives point me back to you. I want to walk the way that lasts, not just the way that feels simple today.

Nothing is outside his hands today either, and the same hands still stoop to serve me. I rest there.

Eliphaz is right about human frailty, and still he is wrong. He takes a true word and uses it to flatten a grieving friend. Be careful. Sound doctrine aimed at a broken heart can wound more than error does. Ask first whether your words heal, not just whether they are correct.
Job asks his friends to taste his words before condemning them: "Is there injustice on my tongue? Can't my taste…Job asks his friends to taste his words before condemning them: "Is there injustice on my tongue? Can't my taste discern mischievous things?" He is not claiming perfection, only that he would know if he were lying. Sometimes the most painful wound is being told your grief is sin. Before you explain someone's suffering, sit in it with them.
