The words are true about sin. They were cruel aimed at Job. Be careful what you do with accurate things. A sentence can be correct and still crush the friend sitting in ashes in front of you. Ask before you explain.

The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?
Thank You, Lord of Armies, for turning the fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth months into joy and…Thank You, Lord of Armies, for turning the fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth months into joy and gladness and cheerful feasts. You remember the days we grieved and You rewrite them. Teach us to love truth and peace as You have loved us.
He who walks among the seven golden lampstands says these things." Before a single word of correction comes to Ephesus,…He who walks among the seven golden lampstands says these things." Before a single word of correction comes to Ephesus, Jesus says where He is standing. Not watching from a distance. Walking among them. The One who is about to name what you've lost is already close enough to touch. Does that change how you hear the rebuke?
Father, I don't always notice when my words or my bitterness wound the Spirit you placed in me. Make me…Father, I don't always notice when my words or my bitterness wound the Spirit you placed in me. Make me tender to that quiet ache. Thank you that I belong to you, kept safe for the day you make all things right.
The children of the violent among your people will exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they will fall." They…The children of the violent among your people will exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they will fall." They were not fighting against God's word. They were trying to force it into being, by their own strength and their own timing. Zeal is not the same as obedience. What promise are you trying to make happen yourself?
All his days he also eats in darkness, he is frustrated, and has sickness and wrath." Notice where the sorrow…All his days he also eats in darkness, he is frustrated, and has sickness and wrath." Notice where the sorrow shows up: at the table. A meal was meant to be shared, slow, lit by a lamp and laughter. He swallows it alone, in the dark, already thinking about tomorrow's money. Who is waiting at your table tonight while you finish one more thing?
