Trust God for the right words

Acts 25, 26 [NIV Dramatized Audio]

Besides Christ Jesus, Paul was the primary voice of the New Testament. His custom was to go to the synagogue in whatever city he found himself and look for an opportunity to witness about Christ. He was no novice at speaking to crowds. His crowning moments could have been when he defended himself against the accusations of the Jews as he stood before both Festus and King Agrippa. They found no fault in him.

To date, neither you nor I have been in a similar pickle. There may be days yet ahead in which we will be brought to court and accused for our faith in Christ. You may fear yourself no great orator, but BE ENCOURAGED! God promises that HE will be there with you and FILL YOUR MOUTH with the right words.

When you are arrested and judged, don’t worry ahead of time about what you should say. Say whatever is given you to say at that time, because it will not really be you speaking; it will be the Holy Spirit. [Mark 13:11 NCV]
