Guidance comes to the forgiven, not the flawless. And see how God leads: "I will counsel you with my eye on you." Not a bit and bridle yanking your head around, just a look. Are you standing close enough to catch it?

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

You took the weight off Assyria and horses and the work of my own hands, things that never could save me. Thank You for being the one refuge that holds when everything I built falls apart.
Father, before anything existed, you already had me in mind. I forget that on the days I feel forgettable. Let…Father, before anything existed, you already had me in mind. I forget that on the days I feel forgettable. Let that settle deep, and shape how I live: chosen, loved, and slowly being made clean in your presence.
Josiah was already a good king, already repairing the temple, when the lost book was read aloud. And it cut…Josiah was already a good king, already repairing the temple, when the lost book was read aloud. And it cut him. "Great is Yahweh's wrath that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened." Notice he says us, not them. He didn't hide behind his ancestors' sins or his own record. When Scripture stings, do you hear it as about someone else?

"Because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke." The boasting kept going right up to the moment the beast was destroyed. Loudness is not the same as lasting. Whatever voice is shouting over your life today, it has an ending God has already set.
Father, I see the land grieving, the fields going dry, and I want to ask how long. We have hurt…Father, I see the land grieving, the fields going dry, and I want to ask how long. We have hurt what You made, and the creatures suffer for it. Teach me to live gently here, and don't let my honest questions turn to despair.
