Emile,
My heart rejoices when hearing your statement;
"Just a few words to let you know that I am meditating and praying on my answer."
On this thread, we should all be doing this when we speak of the scriptures. Checking with God to verify our responses with him!
I find, in my own experiences, when responses are rushed, they might not be as clear or communicate exactly what you want. In addition, when I have not consulted the Lord for the proper answer, the one he would be pleased with, my answers are sometimes foolish. Sometimes I answer in prideful ways, which does not reflect the proper love for others the Lord dictates us to do. I am guilty of being prideful, as my brother Bob! I apologize to all for this!
With that said, I am very pleased that you are taking this issue to the Lord, and taking the proper time that is needed to answer! I must do the same as well when I am confronted with questions! We all should!
Emile, this goes without saying, but I am enjoying our study and look forward to the continuation of it, when you are fully ready!
Enjoy your time with the Lord, as I do, when in his presence!
God Bless You, Steve |
