The Writing on the Wall | Daniel 5

The Writing on the Wall | Daniel 5
Aaron Mattox

In each generation, God’s people are called to live faithfully for Him. Kingdoms rise and fall, but God’s kingdom is the only one that will stand forever. The book of Daniel gives God’s people a sweeping view of history and inspires them to live faithfully by grounding them in the hope and promise of God’s everlasting kingdom.

Have you ever heard someone say, "The writing is on the wall?" In Daniel 5, King Belshazzar sees a disembodied hand write an ominous message, and he calls Daniel to interpret it. As we consider this text, we learn a very simple but important truth: wise people heed God's warnings.
