After turning from a day’s work, I lay silently still, listening for God’s direction in matters.

A friend who lives in Georgia sent me a video that a lady posted. She clicked on the white rabbit icon, which took her to an information site without words. It needed to be decoded; she couldn’t break down the message. I text her back, saying, “It reminds me of the writing on the wall in the book of Daniel. God interrupted the king’s party using stolen vessels from His temple. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? (Daniel chapter 5)

As I lay still, praying for God to speak to me as to what to write about, this is it. He’s loud and clear! This message may not be received; that’s ok. I’m doing what I do, relaying a message from God.

Jesus said, “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.”  (Matthew 11:15 KJV) Revelation 2:17 also says, ^“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;” …

King Belshazzar’s arrogance got him in deep trouble. He was king; he could do what he wanted. God crashed his abominable celebration in honor of a nonexistent entity, a golden statue. In the midst of drunkenness, idolatry, and party guests, the finger of God came down to engrave a message on the palace walls.  He called for astrologers, enchanters, and diviners, but they couldn’t interpret the writing on the wall. One remained, whose name was Daniel. He understood because God wrote it in his language, Hebrew.

 During detrimental storms, villagers were seen transporting their Budas to save them. We have a God who carries us! He’s alive and well. He carries our burdens, but their gods are a burden to them.

I understand times are uncertain, and many things are weighing in the balance. Just hold on. Believe that God is doing something in the earth.   

Remember Alice following the white rabbit to his hole? She discovered something unimaginable! Keep searching for truth; you’ll find it.  We are about to see a shift like we’ve never witnessed. Things are not always what they appear to be.

Are we aware when God is sending messages through the prophets? Are our spiritual eyes so keen that nothing taking place in this world will budge our faith? I ask myself these questions repeatedly. I want to be alert to hearing what the Spirit is saying.

… “he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:” Daniel 2:21 KJV
