It’s past my bedtime, but I have this intense desire to write. I don’t think I’ll sleep well unless I release this intense desire.

Hmm… I feel like that can be a good example of how sin works.

The operation of sin is to infiltrate the heart and mind of a soul for collecting information, and it is that information that allows Satan to access me with temptation for corruption, hence this intense desire for me to stay awake to publish this post.

So I ask the Holy Spirit, is it for sin that I am doing this, or is it for blessing to a reader who might read this, or is it both, and the risk is a less than optimal Nathan tomorrow?

It isn’t with an audible voice that I receive a reply, which would be quite, well, not that Saul was insane before becoming the apostle Paul, but it would probably be perceived as insane from a worldly point of view if I claimed hearing the audible voice of the Holy Spirit.

Anyway.

I experience the inaudible language of the Holy Spirit inspire my thoughts and remember to look up a verse with regard to “faith”,

^{Romans 14:23 (AMP)} “But he who is uncertain [about eating a particular thing] is condemned if he eats, because he is not acting from faith. Whatever is not from faith is sin [whatever is done with doubt is sinful].”

I trust the Holy Spirit and am confident that the consequence of my action in response to release this intense desire is not something that condemns me because I write, but because of my idea at the beginning of the post:

I don’t think I’ll sleep well unless I release this intense desire.

It was an idolatrous idea I was operating under as I prepped to write, the uncertainty, I don’t think, is what condemns because I was not operating on faith; did God not allow this time for me to write knowing full well what time it is and my condition to handle tonight until tomorrow, if it be the Lord’s will that tomorrow should come, I thank God that He’s provided this time tonight.

Lord, you know what time it is for me and our reader, thank you for the time and energy you give us to handle the task at hand with certainty. Please bless us with the sustenance of your Spirit that matures us into healthy people after Your own heart.

In Your name Jesus our Lord, Christ the King, The Word of God,

amen.
