The Art of Wall Writing

Last night while reading my Bible I stumbled over the most delightful discovery. It really did make me laugh. It was this: God has been known to write on walls. You know, the taboo scribbling on the inner framework of a house. Well, God’s done it before. I mean this very literally, physically. With a human hand in understandable letters. He came to a palace in the Middle East and wrote on one of the walls. See Daniel 5:5. Isn’t that fascinating? Who knew a mischievous little act so prone to two year olds had its origin in the Scriptures? And not only from the pages of the Bible, but from God Himself! So, next time you find those tell-tale marks of your child’s signature scrawled across the wallpaper in flaming orange permanent marker, don’t get too upset. Remember: God did it first!
