SCRIPTURE: Mark (NIV) 13:11 Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
OBSERVATION: Jesus was talking to his disciples about the end days. He emphasized the importance of the Holy Spirit. The people would need to have a close relationship with the Holy Spirit.
APPLICATION: I believe that the days about which Jesus was talking are beginning now, or soon to come. For some, days of trouble are already upon them.
We must listen to the Holy Spirit. We need to sharpen our ability to recognize His voice and be quick to do as He directs. We need to go through each day thoughtfully doing our best as we understand it. However, when we hear/sense/feel the tugging of the Holy Spirit to change, we should not push those thoughts away as though they are just some crazy thoughts. If there is nothing morally wrong with them, we should consider that the Holy Spirit may be directing us to change our words or actions.
PRAYER: Holy Spirit, I consider it a great privilege that you would speak to me and use me for good. Obviously, You know what is best for me to say and do. You live within me, and you know what lies ahead. It may be to a safer path for me any my family, or to a path where I can share the truth of Jesus to a waiting soul; guide my steps. By speaking to my heart, guide me through this day. Amen
