Week 3 – Wisdom In Defense (Luke 21:15)

Standing in our faith can be hard. Especially when we are called to defend what we believe. But thankfully we have the promise of Jesus. He tells us that when the time comes He’ll give us, “words and wisdom” that no adversary can refute or resist. In today’s world where we face criticism and mockery of our beliefs, this assurance offers us great comfort. So when others disparage our character or question our faith, we don’t need to respond with anger or defensiveness. Instead we can trust that God will give us the wisdom and grace to speak with love and clarity. Our testimonies, whether in conversations with friends or in moments of public defense, become opportunities for God to shine through us. We can be grateful that in these moments, the Lord is with us, empowering us to stand firm. The wisdom He provides allows us to respond in a way that glorifies Him and opens hearts, even amidst opposition. Our call is not to rely on our own ability but to lean on His promise that He will equip us when we need it most.

Questions For Reflection –

1. How can we trust God’s promise in Luke 21:15 to give us the right words and wisdom when we face criticism or opposition for our faith?

1. In what ways can we prepare our hearts to speak with love and grace, relying on God’s wisdom instead of our own, when we are called to share our testimony or defend our beliefs?

Don’t worry about finding the right words. God will give you the wisdom to speak with grace when the moment comes! 🙏🏻❤️
