Your Word is Truth

     On Saturday afternoon, we met with the ladies of the church for a training session on how to do an inductive Bible study. We were expecting twelve ladies, but were prepared for fifteen. Well, we had about eighteen show up.( I think that was the final count.) We had a great time. There are a few differences in how things translate into Spanish that slowed us down a little bit at first, but we soon figured out how to handle it and then we were good to go.
     I am so blessed to have Anna interpreting  for me. She is very easy to work with and things flow well between us. The time seemed to fly by. There was an event at another local church that was going on that night and several of the ladies were taking teenagers to that event. So we knew we were working in a limited time frame. I brought study books for them and knew that they would be finishing them on their own using the tools we had discussed.

     The book How Do You  Know God is Your Father is a study of 1 John. Well, we started the book and they were really getting the concepts when some had to leave. I told them I would be here til next week if they wanted to continue at another time. They are so excited about learning God's Word! We are actually trying to schedule another night to get together and continue working through the study together.
      Our God is so faithful! When we seek to know Him, He is always ready to reveal Himself to us. It is exciting to see the children of God really studying His Word, and understanding new things through that study! What a blessing that the Holy Spirit lives in us and is our teacher and guide.
     In John 17:15-17 Jesus is praying for us: "I do not ask  You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world,  even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth."
Father, help me to always seek Your truth.
