'Don't Worry What to Say' — Mark 13:11
[Jesus continued,] "But when you are arrested and stand trial, don't worry in advance about what to say. Just say what God tells you at that time, for it is not you who will be speaking, but the Holy Spirit."
Key Thought
Our witness will not be our wisdom, but our courage. Our ultimate testimony will not be of our own making but from the Spirit's inspiration. Jesus challenged his original disciples, and through them he now challenges us, to be his witnesses and trust the Holy Spirit to empower, enlighten, and inspire us when we face challenges to the Good News!
Today's Prayer
O Father, please make me courageously bold by the power of your Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
