Sometimes in life, you get stuck in a conversation that you just don't want to be in. I don't mean when your parents are talking politics, or your friends are talking about a movie you have no idea about. I mean a difficult conversation. One that you have to be active in but it's not easy and not exactly enjoyable. You know the ones? I hope so because I'm just going to go on.
Lately, I have been involved in quite a handful of these lovely conversations. Now, this post is not going to be me complaining or anything, it's going to be the testimony of how good God really is.
As the conversation unfolds, often I will be challenged with a question, with a statement or an accusation that I have no idea how to answer. I mean, not just: "hmm what should i say. maybe this will sound good." No, like full on "I have NO idea what to say here." Then I would pray. Well to be honest, I didn't always pray. Sometime's I'd just turn away and come back to it a moment later and then, suddenly I'd have the words to say! Then there were times I'd shoot the tiniest little prayer heavenward and there they were, in my mouth (or more realistically, at my fingertips).
Then there were the other times when I didn't say anything and someone else was given the words to say to this person.
I was blown away! Truly blown away! God is so amazing!
And it wasn't until last night that it really truly hit me what God had done for me. And then this verse came to mind:
"But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you."
Matthew 10:19, 20
