S - 11 But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate[c] what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
O - The disciples were asking Jesus about the end of times and He was describing the events that would take place before the end would come. He mentioned that they would be persecuting because of Him. When this was to happen he warned them not to worry or practice what they would say but to rely on the Holy Spirit for the words to say.
A - Most likely I won't have the same level of persecution that the apostles did but I will still have opportunities to talk about Jesus. In these instances, I need to also rely on the Holy Spirit for the words to speak that will be affective. In order for me to hear these words I need to be even closer to Him and "know" Him at an even deeper level.
P - Heavenly Father, I long for a deeper understanding of you and to be intimate with you. Fill my heart with your wisdom and understanding. Thank you for all of the blessings that you have showered on my life and the lives of my family. Be with us as we go about our days and let us always feel your presence.
