The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?
He who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it." The people weren't lazy.…He who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it." The people weren't lazy. They sowed, ate, drank, worked hard. But God's house lay in ruins while they panelled their own. Ask the harder question: not whether you are busy, but whether what you're building is what God asked for.

Benaiah guarding the king's bodyguard, "and the sons of David were chief officials serving the king." No glory, just posts to be kept. Someone had to handle records while others took cities. God wrote their names down anyway. He knows the work nobody applauds, including yours.
Father, you were never content to keep your mercy small. You sent light past every border I would have drawn.…Father, you were never content to keep your mercy small. You sent light past every border I would have drawn. Make me restless with a narrow love, and willing to carry your kindness farther than feels comfortable, to people I haven't learned to see yet.

Jesus thanked his Father before the math ever worked out. Then he put the pieces into the hands of disciples who had just said it couldn't be done, and let them do the serving.
What small thing are you holding back from thanking God for, because it still looks like not enough?
Thank You for loving me enough to disturb my comfort. You name the beds of ivory and the lambs from…Thank You for loving me enough to disturb my comfort. You name the beds of ivory and the lambs from the flock for what they are, and You still set food on my table. Teach me to enjoy it with open hands, grieving what grieves You.
