“But be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them. And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations. And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. And brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. And you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. (Mark 13:9-13 ESV)
Have you ever wondered how you would make it through a conversation that you knew would be incredibly hard? If you are like me the conversation came and went and you wonder how you made it through so easily… Well not everytime, but have you ever had a conversation where you said somethings and wondered where they came from?
God reminds us in this passage we do not need to worry before hand how we will respond to every question we will receive. First of all it is impossible to know all of the questions you will be asked, so how can you possibly rehearse what you will say to the question you do not know you will be asked?
God tells us the Holy Spirit will give us the words to say in the moment they need to be said. We can trust in the promises that God will always be with us and help us through everything we face.
