Wanting a sign from above

Wanting a sign from above

Dan. 5: 5-6

Immediately and suddenly there appeared [as if they came out of the wall] THE FINGERS OF A MAN’S HAND THAT WROTE on the wall opposite the candlestick in the king's palace [writing in large letters in the light so it could be clearly seen by all],

and the king saw THE PART OF THE HAND THAT WROTE. [obviously the work of Someone superior to man]

Then the color of the king's face was changed, [became pale from terror] and his terrifying thoughts troubled and alarmed him; [his own conscience raise up to remind him that warning signs had previously been everywhere]

the joints and muscles of his hips and back gave way [turned to jelly] and his knees smote together. [the effects of fear, terror and panic]

Pray the Word:

Lord, if all he saw was THE FINGERS OF YOUR HAND and it brought such panic . . . If just a tiny manifestation of Your power had that effect, then what would be the effect of coming face to face with You where all was revealed? Well, it makes us stop and think twice when we want to ASK YOU FOR A SIGN so we could ‘really know how You feel’ . . . So, perhaps before we start asking for You to reveal Yourself more to us -  we should first pay closer attention to our conscience You have given to guide us and to Your Word that precisely gives us Your thoughts and plans for us to follow. We don’t want to see the WRITING ON THE WALL!
