The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?
They "returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest." No one…They "returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest." No one asked them to. No one would believe them either, the next verses say their words seemed like nonsense. Still they went. Sometimes obedience looks like speaking truth into a room that shrugs. Tell it anyway.
Thank You for stirring up spirits, Lord. You moved Zerubbabel, Joshua, and all the remnant, and they came and worked…Thank You for stirring up spirits, Lord. You moved Zerubbabel, Joshua, and all the remnant, and they came and worked on Your house. Thank You that the willingness I thought was mine was Your gift first, and that You still stir sluggish hearts to build.
Weapons stacked for killing become firewood. "They will make fires with them seven years." The very shields and spears raised…Weapons stacked for killing become firewood. "They will make fires with them seven years." The very shields and spears raised against God's people end up warming their kitchens, cooking their meals. That is how thorough His peace is. What are you still keeping sharpened, just in case? He would rather you burned it and got warm.
Therefore we are always confident," Paul writes, not always comfortable. He admits the ache in the same breath: while we…Therefore we are always confident," Paul writes, not always comfortable. He admits the ache in the same breath: while we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord. That homesickness you can't quite name on ordinary days is not weak faith. It is love for Someone you haven't seen yet.
Father, teach me to stop seeing your commands as weight to carry. When I obey out of fear or duty,…Father, teach me to stop seeing your commands as weight to carry. When I obey out of fear or duty, it drags. Remind me that loving you and following you are the same motion, and that what you ask is not too heavy for me.
