What Jesus Did! 'Don't Worry What to Say' — Mark 13:11

Thursday, September 22, 2016

"You will be arrested and judged. But don't worry about what you should say. Say the things God gives you to say at that time. It will not really be you speaking. It will be the Holy Spirit speaking."
— Mark 13:11 NLT
Illustration of Mark 13:11 NLT — "You will be arrested and judged. But don't worry about what you should say. Say the things God gives you to say at that time. It will not really be you speaking. It will be the Holy Spirit speaking."

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.

Today's Prayer

O Father, please make me courageously bold by the power of your Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
