Daniel 5Belshazzar is drinking from the sacred vessels as he parties with his lords, wives and concubines. Suddenly a disembodied hand appears and writes some strange words on the wall. The king is terrified, but nobody is able to interpret the message. His mother remembers that Daniel was gifted in interpreting dreams, so Daniel was summoned. His interpretation was basically that this was going to be Belshazzar’s last party. He had been measured, and his kingdom numbered. Time’s up. None of us know when our time will be up. We would do well to honor God with our lives.
LORD, give us the wisdom to celebrate life, but not to live to celebrate.
