You freed me from measuring myself by the precepts and doctrines of men, and gave me Christ instead. That holds when everything else wears out.

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

The same iron is hammered into something that feeds people. God rarely throws away what you once used as a weapon. He reforges it. And then: "neither shall they learn war any more." War is taught, practiced, inherited. Which of those lessons are you still rehearsing at home?
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions." Darius ran.…Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions." Darius ran. He had the throne, the palace, the power, and none of it let him sleep. Meanwhile Daniel rested among lions. Strange, how peace rarely sits where we expect it. Where are you running this morning, and what are you afraid you'll find?

Teach me to keep your words close, not out of fear but because pleasing you has become what I want most. Then let me come to you with open hands, trusting you hear me.

Not the scandalous sins, the ones we excuse. These are all things we do to each other. "Putting away therefore all wickedness" is the language of taking off a filthy coat. You can't nurse on the pure milk of the Word with that still on you. What are you still wearing?

Thank You for warning me that heritage saves no one, and for giving me a faithful Priest who never fails.
About Faith.Network
The Bible is a book full of wisdom, but sometimes hard to understand. Faith.Network was born from the desire to make that depth accessible to everyone.
We believe technology can help faith grow. By combining the power of smart software with reliable theological sources, we offer explanation, background and context for every verse. So that you do not just read, but truly grow.
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.
