Keeping It To Oneself . . .
In the past I’ve relayed more than once that these Musings and Reflections on the Word of God are primarily for me; Yet these have blessed me such that I thought such may also be a blessing to others of the body of Christ. Recently, however, I was reminded about not telling or keeping some things to oneself. As I discussed such with another reconciled unto the Family of God by the blood of Jesus, they confirmed that God relayed the same to them; to which their response was much like my own: “but it’s such a blessing, surely it’ll bring joy to another as well.”
However, remember Joseph who had two beautiful dreams and shared these with his immediate family members? The result was that his brothers tried to murder him! Of course, the LORD God protected Joseph; and ultimately Joseph had to be removed from that tribal setting to fulfill his God-given assignment. Hence, the recent Reflection on the Word entitled: The Prayer of Agreement, the actual prayer which another in the body of Christ agreed with me, wasn’t shared, though its structure would be helpful. For even though God’s pie is never depleted, envy is a reality amongst the brethren. Nevertheless, the Office of the Holy Spirit resides within the redeemed to assist in such matters.
