The hare, because it chews the cud but doesn't have a parted hoof, it is unclean to you." One mark…The hare, because it chews the cud but doesn't have a parted hoof, it is unclean to you." One mark right, the other missing. Israel learned to notice both, what an animal takes in and how it walks. A strange lesson that still lands. You can chew on the word daily and still walk a road that doesn't match it. Which one is your life telling?

The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?
God asks, "Is it right for you to be angry about the vine?" and Jonah answers, "I am right to…God asks, "Is it right for you to be angry about the vine?" and Jonah answers, "I am right to be angry, even to death." He is arguing with God over a plant while a city of thousands breathes because of mercy. Notice God does not walk away from him. He keeps asking questions. What small loss has you angrier than it should?
Lord, you stand where we thought we were safest, and nothing in us stays hidden. I can't outrun you, and…Lord, you stand where we thought we were safest, and nothing in us stays hidden. I can't outrun you, and slowly I'm learning I don't want to. Shake loose whatever is false in my worship, and hold me steady when it falls.

Thank You that the disciples' rebuke did not stop them, and that I can still carry the little ones I love straight to You.

God's presence was right there in Bethel the whole time, and Israel only came to ask after two crushing defeats. "The children of Israel asked Yahweh (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days." Notice the word *there*. It was always there. What have you been carrying alone this week, with God near enough to touch?
