Our time in Guatemala was a month, but it felt like a week. With us being so busy with so many different things. A team from South Africa visit us for 2 weeks and it was good to have some goodies from home. Our daily program was team devotions in the mornings, then of to work and then end the day with teaching till midnight.
The physical labour was a lot of fun and I obviously learned a lot, but that is not the only thing I will take with me. The teachings and the truth revealed is what I will take home and treasure for the rest of my life.
We all grow up thinking our ways and manners are right&
nbsp;and truth. And then also following or doing things without knowing why and the info behind it all. In Guatemala I came to the point of doubting a lot of things, in a good way. Why do I do what I do? Who taught me my ways and habits? God? People? My whole life and a lot of things I did was because of people, I build my life on people and there opinions and revelations, especially when it comes to the Bible. Then hearing other information on word from other people made me thing... What makes this the truth? Maybe this is also just more lies?
Through this Gos also taught me something else, I don't know my Bible well enough to know when people are lying to me about the Bible? It's not people lie to you on purpose, but even a small lie takes away the truth God has for all of us!! We believe everything that people teach us to easily without checking it with God and His word.
So with this new info I feel like a baby in my faith and with the Word
of God. I came to a point where as this new born baby God, as my Dad, wants to teach me all the truths in His word. So the best way to get this Truth... Is to sit at His feet and spend time in the Bible! He wants to teach us all His ways, His truths, and all the mysteries in His word and in the end to write that on your heart. And out of that we can teach others the truth!
So this should encourage us to evaluated things in our lives that can be lies that Satan sowed in, discover His truths and taking back what Satan took from us. So read your Bible and allow His Spirit to teach you the truths that you will know when people are lying to you!!
