Last year I was traveling Costa Rica by myself, wondering the country with no real plan. I studied Spanish for 3 years back in high school but feel like I have forgotten everything. Before I left for the trip I was trying to remember words and phrases and struggled to put it all together. I was nervous that I would not be able to communicate, I was worried that I didn’t know enough. Once I got down there though it all came back to me. Sure I am no where near fluent and still have a ton to learn but when I really needed to know something or really needed to communicate something I would remember the words.I feel like remembering scripture and ministering to others is very similar. I have studied for years but feel like I forget everything. I am nervous that when the opportunity arises to minister to others that I won’t be able to put it all together. I am worried that I will not be able to communicate what I need to. But God reminds us in Luke 12:12 not to worry but that He will provide us with the words. Sure I am not an “expert” yet and still have a lot to learn but when I am nervous and confronted with a situation to minister to others I have faith that God will provide me with the scripture and backing that I need, just as he provided me with the Spanish words when I needed it most. “¿Dónde Está el Baño?”
Luke 12: 8-12
8″I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God. 9But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God. 10And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.11″When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.”
