The Handwriting on the Wall – Learning From Warnings Before It’s Too Late

Have you ever ignored a warning sign, only to face the very thing you could have avoided? In Daniel 5, King Belshazzar witnessed the famous handwriting on the wall—a message of judgment that marked the end of his reign. But the truth is, Belshazzar already knew better. He had seen the mistakes of his father, King Nebuchadnezzar, yet he chose to repeat history instead of learning from it.
In this episode of Purpose of Heart, host Priscilla Allman unpacks the sobering story of Belshazzar and the lessons it holds for us today. Together, we’ll explore three key truths:

• The Warning Signs Are Already There – God often shows us patterns, testimonies, and examples from the past. Are we paying attention, or pressing forward in pride?
• Stewardship and Accountability Before God – What are we doing with the resources, influence, and families God has entrusted to us?
• Living With Eternal Perspective – Our choices carry weight. What kind of legacy will we leave behind when our lives are “weighed in the balance”?
  
  
  Drawing from Daniel 5, Romans 15:4, 1 Corinthians 4:2, and 1 Corinthians 3:12-14, this episode challenges us to recognize the signs God places in front of us and to live in such a way that, when our works are tested, they will stand as precious stones rather than crumble like wood and hay.
  This is not just a story about an ancient king—it’s a reminder for us today. God is still speaking through His Word, through history, and through the lives of others. The question is: will we listen, or will we repeat the same mistakes?
  Tune in now to be encouraged, challenged, and reminded of the hope we have when we choose to live faithfully before God.
