In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. -Daniel 5:5


God bless you and good morning! Yes it is Monday again! If you are still among us breathing and able to read, it is an indication of the goodness of the Lord. 


This morning during prayer one of the intercessors prayed that we not only would be given sight, but revelation. 


To be honest that jumped onto me so that I wanted to write about that this morning.


Sight and revelation...differences? 

In the scripture above is a great example of sight, that is the natural sense of perceiving what can obviously be seen by anyone, versus what is perceived and understood. 


A toddler can identify that words are on paper, but if that child has not been taught how to read, they will not know what is being said, further if that same child has been taught the phonics of pronunciation then they can pronounce but does that give them the understanding of what’s pronounced? 


No, not unless the word and it’s meaning are common. In the instance above the king saw words, perhaps he could pronounce them, but he did not know what had been written. Not only is it important to pronounce words, but we must know the meaning and even the order is important. 


Case in point...

This is why we must be in a relationship with the Lord along with the studying of the word. When you fail to do so, you can miss the obvious.

And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;   We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:                   -Daniel 9:4-5 Good morning and TGIF!    Daniel the prophet offers a vital lesson on humility in these scriptures. He draws a parallel between David’s prayer (Ps 51), where David acknowledges not only his own sins but also the sins of those who came before him. Many people either deny being affected by their ancestors' sins or are quick to highlight the faults of others while conveniently overlooking their own.  In verse 4, Daniel first confesses his own sins, whether they were committed intentionally or unintentionally. Then in verse 5, he acknowledges the s...

  And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. -2 Samuel 24:24 Good morning and terrific Thursday to you!  The passage referenced tells the story of David trying to halt a plague in Israel—a plague that had come as a result of his own disobedience. To stop it, an act of obedience was required. Following the instructions given through the prophet, David sought a place to offer a sacrifice. He arrived at the threshing floor of Araunah, where the angel had ceased his destruction, intending to build an altar there. Araunah, upon learning of the king’s purpose, generously offered the space and everything needed for the sacrifice at no cost.  However, David declined the offer, as he understood a profound truth that many overlook: the principle of sacrifice is that it must c...

  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. -John 3:17 Good morning and happy Monday to you!  The Lord Jesus came to this world not to condemn us, but to show us what true righteousness is. His mission had multiple purposes, and I will highlight two of them. First, we needed an example of righteousness—someone conceived without sin and who lived a sinless life. Next, because of His immaculate conception and sinless existence, He was qualified to be sacrificed. This requirement was too great for sinful man to fulfill. The grace it took for Him to come into this world and to die for it is truly amazing. #prayforthepeaceofIsrael God bless you and command your day!!! Your comments and questions are welcome.
