Daniel 5:1-6, 13-14, 16-17, 23-28 / Luke 21:12-19
There are many written words that we read everyday.
We read words written in the papers, in text messages, in emails, in notes, in signboards, etc.
But no one would write anything serious on the wall.
That would be considered as graffiti or even vandalism.
But in the 1st reading, a hand appeared and wrote something on the wall.
And it shocked king Belshazzar and he knew the message was for him.
Those four words "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin" meant that God had measured the kings's sovereignty and will put an end to it.
He has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. His kingdom will be divided and given to others.
It was a message that the king could not ignore.
God will also write messages on the walls of our hearts.
Let us not ignore His messages, and let His message of love enter into our hearts and let us listen to His voice in the messages.
Then we will live our lives according to His will and we will have peace in our hearts.
