The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?
Far off, near, shut up behind walls: Ezekiel names every hiding place and closes each one. "He who is far…Far off, near, shut up behind walls: Ezekiel names every hiding place and closes each one. "He who is far off will die of the pestilence; and he who is near will fall by the sword." Distance was never the real problem. Still we try it, a new city, a new start, anything but turning around. God is not asking you to relocate. He is asking you to come back.
Father, before we move, help us stop long enough to look around and see who is missing. Show us the…Father, before we move, help us stop long enough to look around and see who is missing. Show us the gaps we would rather ignore, and give us patience to wait by the water until you send what we lack for the road ahead.

They leave the verdict where it belongs. Think about that the next time you feel the urge to shred someone in a comment, a text, a conversation at the table. If beings that mighty hold their tongue, what makes mine so free? Restraint is not weakness. It is reverence.

Money…Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have kept back by fraud, cry out." Money has a voice. What you withheld is still speaking, and it reached "the ears of the Lord of Armies" long before anyone filed a complaint. Who worked for you this week and went home underpaid, unthanked, unseen?
Lord, when I start something good, the mocking voices come quickly, and some of them live inside my own head.…Lord, when I start something good, the mocking voices come quickly, and some of them live inside my own head. Keep my hands on the work you gave me. Let scorn not stop what you started, and let my courage come from you.
