It’s 7:30am now.
The sun is up and shining bright.
To start, I’m really excited to take what I’ve been learning
and share it with places where there’s need for it. We’re going through the prophets lately.
This week we’re going through Isaiah. I see it as this huge mountain and I
get to explore it, and look through the caves, and figure out and understand it
and when I’m done, I can look back at the mountain and be like “Dude, you
should check that out, and if you go this way there’s a really good look-out
point.” I’m excited to dig into it and know it so I can get other people
excited about who he was and all he said.
When I was trying to read Isaiah in one sitting (because
that’s the first step we take in studying a book), and three hours had gone by
and I was getting tired, bored and zoning out. Then a thought came to my mind about how Paul had studied
this book and he knew it, and I then got really excited and started putting
effort into my reading because I really want to know what Paul knew. I feel so honored to be able to study the same literature that Paul did. How amazing it is that we still have these Scriptures!
One of the themes that I picked up is God’s focus towards
people who have humility and who are not arrogant. He will lift up the humble and bring down the
arrogant/proud. He will lift up those
who turn to him and recognize him for who he is.
I’ve got two more months, and I am off to South Africa. Hopefully you know that by now. I’m going to be learning to teach the
Inductive Method of studying the Bible and how to teach the Historical
Background on the Bible. Then I’ll
be bringing that teaching to pastors and congregations around Southern Africa. Right now I’m looking for people to
partner with me in prayer and financially. If you want a prayer letter, just let me know and I’ll send
you one.
That’s it for now.
I hope you guys are doing awesome and being blessed. If there’s anything you want prayer
for, let me know. I love to keep
connected.
Isaiah 26:3-4
