Torah-Observant or Spirit-Led?


It's 6:33 PM on Friday evening and I don't know what has gotten into me, but I am blogging up a storm during this Week 29 of 2025 and I don't want to end my streak just yet. Maybe it is the Holy Spirit. Since this is a Friday evening writing session, and I have previously committed myself to observe an offline Shabbat from 6 PM Fridays to 8 PM Saturdays, I first need to take myself off the hook from this commitment. But this is easier said than done. Is offline Shabbat a commitment I have made and am free to change at the prompting of the Holy Spirit, or is it a fixed commandment from God? Am I Torah-observant, or Spirit-led? Is this a false dichotomy? And where do I stand at this point in relation to the mitzvot? How do I see the mitzvot in relation to my five customized Horizons of Focus?
