Read:
Have you ever been in a situation where you felt wrongly accused or misjudged? Jesus knew exactly what that felt like. Standing before the Sanhedrin, he was accused of things he hadn’t done. But he didn’t try to defend himself. He stayed silent, trusting that God’s plan would unfold, no matter what.
We all find ourselves in moments where we feel the urge to defend ourselves. But sometimes, it’s in those times of silence and surrender that God’s justice and peace shine through most clearly. Is there something or someone in your life today that you need to trust God with, even if it means staying quiet or letting go of your need to control the outcome?
Pray: Jesus, help me trust in your justice and not in my own ability to defend myself. May I follow your example of silence in the face of false accusations. Amen.
