Simply Put, Enough Said

This past week I had the opportunity to speak at our women’s Bible study at church. This was something new for me, and honestly I was quite nervous. Not so much about the speaking, but writing a lesson from scratch and teaching from God’s Word on a certain subject. It terrified me. I didn’t want to mess up by misinterpreting scripture, or saying something that might cause someone to become offended and angry with me.

The night before the morning I was to speak, I felt God speak to me and I actually giggled out loud. I felt Him say, “Silly Girl, just read the words. Nothing needs to be changed, deleted or added. Just read the Words.”

Sometimes when I write posts for the Intersection I feel the need to be clever and creative in my writing to get a certain point across. Often times it works, but sometimes, like now, there is no interpretation or explanation needed. The written Word of God speaks for itself.

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians 4:8
