One of the Best Bible Studies...Encouragements for My Heart

Hello! Sorry it's been so long!

The past several weeks have been full of big ups and downs for me. Satan really knows how to tamper with us eh?

Today was such a long day (surprise surprise :P) and I had scheduled a Bible study after being out with volunteers (great volunteers btw though hehe). It was my first time meeting the girl K for a one on one Bible Study time. She is a Christian, plugged into a church; she just doesn't have many Christians friends her age. She brought her non Christian friend S. We were planning to go over Acts and I had been too busy to prepare much of anything.

Well the Bible study just went perfect. It was spectacular. I am not meaning that I had the best words to say or anything, but it was completely what each one of us needed. It's amazing. God is amazing. K asked a question about Acts 5, with Ananias and Sapphira, and I didn't know the answer. But it was a very good question. So I told her I honestly don't know, and I will try to answer but be careful because I could be making up junk. I told her I'd get back to her after I studied it and found out for sure, but I tried my best to give her some answer that was biblical. Then I came home like two hours ago, and I did some searching and it's amazing, but everything I told her so far that I know, is all correct! And it's just crazy, because through that God was reminding me of who He is. He is the ultimate provider. He makes me able at the perfect time, He knows exactly what I need.

I had shared with them this fact (that God is our abler, providing us with exactly what and when we need it), with a previous example, where I led a Korean girl to Christ in Korean last summer, not of my own knowledge, because I couldn't repeat that again on my own. I didn't know I knew the Korean words to explain the gospel to this Korean girl. I surprised myself as the speech flowed out of my mouth that summer night, and of course it is because the words were not of me. And then to realize that this whole night was again a repeat of that, of what I had so explicitly shared with them, it puts a ridiculous grin on my face because God was revealing to me His awesomeness. So that is just a part of the amazing Bible study I had tonight. The whole night was cycles of that. I mean seriously, that's not a coincidence. If you think that's a coincidence, well I don't know what to tell you. Just keep thinking I'm crazy ;) I don't really care because I know what I know.

God knows how to provide exactly when we need. I know this, but to experience this tonight in the midst of my struggles, it's amazing. My heart overflows with joy. I want to praise God!
