There is a certain authority involved.<br /><br />Here, I try to avoid that, though I think I slip sometimes. I try to share information and insight, and give suggestions on how it might be applied. But too often in the past I think I've tried to give actual instruction outside a context of the role of teacher. I don't want to do that when I'm sharing here, because I really do want the Holy Spirit to be the One giving the actual instruction.<br /><br />My regular prayer is that the Lord will direct my words, then empower them for each reader as He sees fit.<br /><br />May the Lord richly bless you as you seek Him, Wendy!Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-79513622627335975842009-12-16T09:40:26.799-05:002009-12-16T09:40:26.799-05:00Jennifer, since I'm a nut for the Word of God ...Jennifer, since I'm a nut for the Word of God anyway, Psalm 119 has long been a favorite meditation and study of mine. I'm looking forward to sharing, especially with people I love like you! :D<br /><br />T. Anne, I think of it like a dance, letting Him lead without resistance from me. I skip happily when the music is light, hold tighter on the moves that feel risky, and cling to Him for closeness at other moments.<br /><br />Shark Bait, as much as I love me some Biblios Hokku, I'm delighted to offer food for thought for you to nibble on, favorite fish.<br /><br />Russell, one of the aspects of church I most appreciate is diversity. As the Lord gifts individuals, I think He also gifts congregations. Like individuals, when the focus of a congregation turns onto the gift rather than Giver, it's not pretty. But when the gift is used as empowered by the Giver, each one shines with different dynamics.Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-1429853647211861402009-12-16T07:42:50.951-05:002009-12-16T07:42:50.951-05:00I had a hard time concentrating after I read about...I had a hard time concentrating after I read about yarah.
