Matthew 10
Through BSF and our study of Matthew, I am reading alot about the Holy Spirit and how the Holy Spirit is always with you. This theme is certainly present in 10:19-20 when Jesus tells the disciples not to worry about what to say. I really need to impress this in my heart because I need to pause when I speak so that I can ALLOW the Holy Spirit to speak through me. Too often I am NOT quick to listen and slow to speak as encouraged by James:
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are always there not only to listen but to empathize, to speak to, and to be a comfort and source of peace like no other. You are the Lord of Lords, the Name above all Names. You are SO GREAT! I am clearly unworthy of the blessing You provide DAILY! Thank You that You love me despite my apathy towards You, my sloth, my impatience, my anger, my fear, etc. Forgive me for these and my other sins. Help me love You with all of my heart, mind, soul, and strength.
"But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you." v19-20
