TOPIC: FOLLOWING THE SAME UNWORKABLE STEPS
5:5. In the same hour the fingers of a man’s hand appeared and wrote opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace; and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
5:6. Then the king’s countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his hips were loosened and his knees knocked against each other.
5:7. The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spoke, saying to the wise [men] of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing, and tells me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple and [have] a chain of gold around his neck; and he shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.”
5:8. Now all the king’s wise [men] came, but they could not read the writing, or make known to the king its interpretation.
5:9. Then King Belshazzar was greatly troubled, his countenance was changed, and his lords were astonished.
THE MESSAGE:
When Nebuchadnezzar had his first dream (Daniel 2: 1-3) and the second dream (Daniel 4: 1-7), he invited the magicians, astrologers, sorcerers and Chaldeans to tell him the interpretation; they could not. On both occasions, God used Daniel to come to his rescue and give him the correct interpretations. In our reading of today, God decided to teach Belshazzar some lessons for his impudence in using the vessels of the Lord to drink wine. God sent a finger that wrote visibly on the wall for the king to see. He repeated the same process of inviting the same group of people, like his predecessors. Of course, they offered no solution to the problem – they could not read the writing on the wall or give the interpretation (verses 7-8).
Isaiah 30: 21 states thus, “Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, this is the way, walk in it, whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left.” Also, “The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times” (Psalm 12:6). The word of the Lord is the ancient pathway and gives solution at all times. Those who do not know the Lord nor trust him for solution to their problems try so many things and fail before they realise where their solution lies. Are you like such people or do you know where the solution to your problem lies?
PRAYER: O Lord, may my trust be totally on You in all situations
