They simply stood where the road split and waited: "Don't stand in the crossroads to cut off those of his who escape." Doing nothing can still be violence, if you are standing in the one place a desperate person needs to pass. Someone is running right now. Are you the open road, or the locked gate?

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

Guard my own speech too, and keep me from pursuing what you have already settled.
The couriers "hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment." Those same roads had already carried Haman's death sentence. Now…The couriers "hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment." Those same roads had already carried Haman's death sentence. Now the same dust, the same horses, but this time the news saves. Notice the hurry. When a message means someone lives, you don't stroll. Who is waiting on news you have been slow to carry?
Thank You that when Samson "burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, and also the olive groves," the…Thank You that when Samson "burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, and also the olive groves," the grip of the Philistines began to loosen. You are not impressed by the stockpiles of the strong, and You do not forget Your oppressed people.

The one nobody called in from the sheep when Samuel came. Yet the whole book bends toward that seventh name. Being named last is not being named least. God keeps His own order, and He is never in a hurry to explain it to your older brothers.

Where trust feels costly, steady our hearts. Help us give ourselves to one another gladly, not from fear, but because we belong to you first.
About Faith.Network

Disclaimer: Faith.network uses automated language models to prepare Bible studies and reflections. All content is generated from the Bible text itself and checked daily by an independent, automated quality control: random samples from every language site are scored on faithfulness to Scripture, verbatim Bible quotation, language and clarity, and the results are published unedited. Even so, no explanation is infallible and mistakes can occur. Nothing on this platform constitutes professional advice, and no rights can be derived from its content. Always test what you read against the Bible itself, and use Faith.network as a supplement to — never a replacement for — your own Bible study, prayer and the life of a local church community.
