Pastor Commentary:

Matt 10:19: “But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.”

 

God will speak through you if you give Him the chance. As Christians, we are not meant to be afraid of difficult situations. We are not expected to premeditate all our speech. We are expected to surround ourselves with people who need our help, and offer up a generous portion of the Gospel message. Jesus has already equipped us to cast out unclean spirits, and to heal all kinds of sickness and disease (Matt 10:1). Be bold, knowing that God has already prepared you for everything He has called you to do. If you don’t feel ready: good! That only means you will have to rely on God that much more.

 

Prayer:

“Father, give me the confidence required to know that you will speak through me in every situation! You will give me words to pray and to speak. You will give me wisdom to know what to do. Help me to always rely on the Holy Spirit, and to never rely only own strength!”
