So, are we careful enough? Too careful? When we "handle" the Word, are we putting too much of ourselves into it?
I get to teach a college age sunday school group for the next two weeks. I got the call earlier this week, but only picked up the message last night. So, I'm now down to one day to get it pulled together. What do I do?
First off, I think. Ok, I should be in prayer, but the truth of who I am is that I start thinking and planning. But then, hopefully not long into my planning, I stop to pray. What, Abba Father, Holy God, Lord Jesus, do you want me to share with these folks? Or what do you want me to bring up, so they can share with me? What will be honoring to you and serve your purposes?
So, now come more questions: Should I stick with the basic theme of the last teacher? Or should I go with I want to teach/what Ihope the Lord is asking me to teach?
The biggest challenge for me is this: I don't always get clear leading from the Lord. But I do trust that if I am going forward in prayer, with the faith that the Lord's Word can stand without me, I can be looking for room to serve Him and these fine people who will be joining me on Sunday.
May is please the Heavenly Father to be with m in Spirit and heart so that I may serve His kingdom purposes.
What are your thoughts?
