Josh had ratings for baseball today. Bring on baseball!
Here is today’s Bible Reading: Genesis 30:1-31:16; Matthew 10:1-23; Psalm 12:1-8; Proverbs 3:13-15.
Matthew 10:19-20 (NIV)
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, [20] for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
Have you ever had that experience? Not the arresting part, but the Holy Spirit speaking through you? Incredible. I think of those occasions where I talk a while and then ask myself “Did I really just say that?” It wasn’t me. It was something supernatural. I believe that God longs to speak through us more than He does, but we are too busy getting our own 2 cents in. What if we really just paused and breathed a prayer asking that the next words out of our mouths be from Him and not ourselves? Speak through us, Holy Spirit.
