The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?

Even grape gatherers leave something on the vine for whoever comes behind them. But Edom, who watched Jerusalem fall and helped itself to the leftovers, would be stripped down to nothing. What you refuse to leave for someone else has a way of not staying yours. Is there any gleaning left in your harvest?
Father, you deserve more than leftovers. Gather in me what it takes to build something worthy of you, and keep…Father, you deserve more than leftovers. Gather in me what it takes to build something worthy of you, and keep me from shrinking the work down to what feels easy. Let my best belong to you, beam by beam, day by day.

Good desire, true message, willing heart, and still, "they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia." Not every closed door is opposition. Sometimes it is the Spirit turning you toward a place you cannot see yet. Can you trust a no that comes from love?
As therefore you received Christ Jesus, the Lord, walk in him." Think back to how you received him. Empty handed.…As therefore you received Christ Jesus, the Lord, walk in him." Think back to how you received him. Empty handed. Nothing to bargain with, only need. Yet somewhere along the road we start walking as though holding on to him is now our achievement. The same open hands that took him at the beginning are the hands that carry you today.
Father, some of your words are hard to read. They show me how seriously you take what corrupts a home…Father, some of your words are hard to read. They show me how seriously you take what corrupts a home and a heart. Keep my love honest and clean. Where I have made light of sin, teach me to grieve it, and thank you for the mercy that meets me there.
