God's Message On The Wall

Daniel 5:4-5  

"They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron,

of wood, and of stone. 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."  

   God struck terror upon Belshazzar and his lords. God's written word is enough to put the proudest, boldest sinner to his knees. What we see of God, is the part of the hand that writes in the book of the  Scriptures, and this should fill us with thoughts concerning, that part which we do not see. If this be the finger of God, what is the power of His arm when made bare, and all God's Majesty? 

   We all know that the king's guilty conscience told him that he had no reason to expect any good news from heaven. God can, in a moment, make the heart of the stoutest sinner to tremble; because we must let loose our own thoughts, for they will give us trouble enough.
   My Friends, No bodily pain can equal the inward agony that holds on to the sinner in the midst of , carnal pleasures, with boastfulness display and worldly vanity. However; Sometimes terrors cause a man to flee to Christ for pardon and peace; but many cry out for fear of wrath, who are not humbled for their sins, and who seek relief but for a short time. We all who spread the Gospel Of Jesus Christ must remember; The ignorance and uncertainty concerning the Holy Scriptures, shown by many who call themselves wise, only tend to drive sinners to despair, as the ignorance of these wise men of Nebuchadnezzar's time did.
Amen!
