Moniyabit

Moniyabit is a friendly and always smiling nursing student who translates for Jodi and me at times in clinic. Yesterday, we discussed his name and he told us that it means "truth is plenty." That is just the thing we are looking forward to growing closer to here in Ghana--the truth. Spending time in His absolute truth, the Word, is the principle for everything we can believe and share with others here. I was so thankful that Moniyabit's name can be such a witness to what everyone's needs are. We just need more truth and thankfully it is plenty. So easy to access. It again makes me think of John and how "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." This absolute truth was made evident in the body of Christ as He paid with His life for our sins so that we might be saved by simply believing in Him. Again, a reminder of tomorrow, Good Friday.

I think when Satan whispers those lies of fear and insecurities, we should think "moniyabit"--truth is plenty. Amen.
