Every stronghold of injustice that looks unshakable has an expiration date set by You. I'm grateful that the powerful never get the last word, and the crushed are not forgotten.

The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two." In Luke, that curtain rips while…The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two." In Luke, that curtain rips while Jesus is still breathing. God opens the way before the last breath is drawn, as if He could not wait another moment to be reachable. The barrier you keep expecting to find has already been torn from the top down. Walk in.
Hazor will be a dwelling place of jackals, a desolation forever." These were tent dwellers, living far out where nobody…Hazor will be a dwelling place of jackals, a desolation forever." These were tent dwellers, living far out where nobody bothered them, with "neither gates nor bars." Their safety was distance. And still the word came. Maybe the quiet life you have carefully arranged is not the shelter you think it is. Where do you actually live?

So much of my complaining is just fear wearing a sharper voice. Teach me to bring my hurt to you honestly instead of letting it smolder into bitterness.

Thank You for the promise, "I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy on you, and cause you…Thank You for the promise, "I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy on you, and cause you to return to your own land." You soften the hearts of those who hold power over me, and You keep bringing me home when I feel scattered and far off.
