MIDWEEK MEDITATION

5 Immediately the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace, opposite the lampstand. And the king saw the hand as it wrote. 6 Then the king's color changed, and his thoughts alarmed him; his limbs gave way, and his knees knocked together. 7 The king called loudly to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers. The king declared to the wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around his neck and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”
                                                Daniel 5:5-7

The writing was on the wall. 

Pale, stunned, and weak, Belshazzar sank into his chair. He had challenged the God of slaves and exiles, a god he thought powerless. He was wrong and now he knew it. The real tragedy is that it took this long for him to see it. Belshazzar lacked the humility, insight, and wisdom to see God’s hand in his life until it was too late. 

May you see God at work in your life today. May He speak through the voice of those around you. May He guide you through stories in His Word. May you have the insight to see His hand at work in your life even as you read this sentence. 

Do you see Him?
