The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?
I also will no longer drive out any from before them of the nations that Joshua left when he died."…I also will no longer drive out any from before them of the nations that Joshua left when he died." Sometimes judgment does not arrive with thunder. It looks like God leaving in place the thing you stopped fighting. Israel had made peace with the Canaanites, so God let them stay. What have you learned to live beside, and quietly stopped asking Him to remove?
We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure." Paul's hands were…We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure." Paul's hands were rough from tentmaking while the Corinthians admired polished speakers. Notice he doesn't say he ignores the insult. He answers it with blessing, and that costs something. Who said something this week that you're still rehearsing a reply to?
Father, you fed us in the wilderness, and now you set a new kind of bread before us. Teach me…Father, you fed us in the wilderness, and now you set a new kind of bread before us. Teach me to receive what this season holds without grieving what has ended. However you provide, it is still your hand, and I am still fed.

No outsider tricks you here. You do it quietly, by needing to be the clever one in the room. Paul's cure sounds absurd. Become a fool. Hold onto a crucified Savior the world laughs at, and let people think less of you. Wisdom starts there.
Thank You that You make the weak "like a mighty man," and that You fill hearts with gladness like wine.…Thank You that You make the weak "like a mighty man," and that You fill hearts with gladness like wine. I'm grateful our children see Your goodness and rejoice too, and that this joy rests in You, not in circumstances.
