Don’t Worry About What You Will Say

Don’t Worry About What You Will Say – Henry Blackaby

But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak. Matthew 10:19

We are servants. Christ is our master. We are His ambassadors. What we say to others merely reflects our Lord’s heart.

If the Holy Spirit orchestrates an opportunity for you to speak on His behalf, don’t be afraid! Not only will He provide you the occasion, He will also give you the words. It might surprise you what words come out of your mouth. Things you have never said before. Applications you never made before. It is an awesome thing to be God’s representative!

At times we can become too focused on ourselves. We worry about what we will say. We are nervous about whether we will speak well and whether our listeners will like what we have to say. Too often we act as if everything depended upon us and upon our eloquence.

The truth is that we are but God’s mouthpiece. We are His servants. At that time and place and before that particular audience, God has chosen for us to represent Him. What an undeserved privilege! When those times come in your life, may you represent your Lord well.
