Thank You that I can sit still and wait, because the outcome rests in hands far stronger than mine.

The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?
David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David." One sentence for a whole life. The…David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David." One sentence for a whole life. The harp, the giant, the sin, the psalms, all folded into a quiet verb: slept. The city still carried his name, but he was not holding it anymore. What are you gripping today that you will one day simply lay down?
Father, teach me to come back to your word every day, not to check a box but to be changed.…Father, teach me to come back to your word every day, not to check a box but to be changed. Let what I read settle deep enough to shape how I speak, how I lead, how I live. Keep me humble under it, and willing to actually do what it says.
Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much…Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness?" Paul looks at the saddest chapter of his people's story and still counts forward, how much more. God's math never stops at loss. If He can draw riches out of a stumble, what might He do with your return?
God says, "I will plant them." Not park them, not store them. Plant. Roots going down into soil that belongs…God says, "I will plant them." Not park them, not store them. Plant. Roots going down into soil that belongs to them, after years of tents and wandering and being pushed around by others. David wanted to build God a house, and God answered by promising his people a home. Where are you still living as if you might be uprooted tomorrow?
Father, so much of what I build will end up as a footnote someone skims. Keep me from chasing strength…Father, so much of what I build will end up as a footnote someone skims. Keep me from chasing strength that impresses and forgetting the faithfulness that lasts. Let my small, hidden obedience matter more to me than any record of what I achieved.
