Musings from Ang

Musings? Okay, weird word, but it is early friday morning so I am in a bit of a weird mood :)

This past week our YWAM Kyiv Leadership team took 4 full days to meet, pray, and plan for the next year. It was a wonder-full time! One morning we read through Psalms 119 and I was once again so encouraged and thankful to have the Word of God, the Bible. In this Psalm there is a balance between the responsibility of the reader of God’s word to be active and God’s part of opening the reader’s heart and mind to understand. “I will run in the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart (119:32).” I love the way this psalms talks about the effects of knowing and living according the to word of God. “Your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soul keeps them. The unfolding of your words gives light;it imparts understanding to the simple.( 119:129-130).”

So as a Bible teacher, I am privileged to bring God’s word to people. This past summer I have had the chance to teach a few people how to study the Bible for themselves. Now that we are back in Ukraine, I will be teaching new people how to teach the Bible to others in just a few weeks!

This morning I was reading in 1 Timothy 4:6. Many people partner with Ben and I as we hear these words from Paul to Timothy and sense the calling on our lives to do the same, “If you put these things before the brothers and sisters, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed.”
