This to remember, my friend: Being "proficient in" the science of studying any discipline, could tend to “pride” if not vigilant. It's no more within us to fly like a bird, simply for our biological understanding of how the wing is shaped for that purpose. The Holy Spirit gently guides our actions and contemplations by imparting heavenly thoughts; thoughts of God, His amazingly creative Hand, His superb artistic expertise, being but a part of his due glorification by we mere mortals.
Naturally, therefore, it is NOT within us to perform such duties motivating us, rather, it is the prompting by the Holy Spirit, guiding and imparting to us the words which will in turn guide others into the light and warmth (and truth) of the Holy Scriptures, so that they, in turn can then reflect that imparted light outward. This is (part of) His (the H.S.’s) Commission in His position which He humbly performs with heavenly assistance.
I mention this for the purpose of ascribing glory to God alone, and most certainly not to any ability or inherent gift thought of as one’s own development. We are ALL brothers and sisters in Christ and must remain humble instruments of His, no matter what position we occupy along the road of spiritual understanding. We ALL remain as “students” in that shared respect. Give all glory to God! And always remember that "gross darkness covers the earth."
Further, at this time, I’d like to remind you that these words, like tiny beams of light, nevertheless go great distances by way of this forum. The opportunity to share Truth learned over quite some time, has been one of, if not, my greatest joy, supported by the duty to do so, not for self-gratification, but rather for God’s eventual glory, wherein a few brave and true souls will take the initiative to investigate these things; to see if they align with the Word of God (the “received text”).
Thank YOU AJR, for interacting with yours truly in this thing. providing a means for others. And I’ll be praying for your continued walk in righteousness and discovery of Truth.
