But He answered him not one word, so that the governor marveled greatly. Matthew 27:14
Have You ever found yourself in a debate? Someone or a group of people coming against you, trying to break you down for what you believe? If you recall it's like a fight, no one is a winner. Just a lot of words spoken with no progress. Later, you think....Why did I say that As it was a waste of my time.

As Jesus stood before His accusers, He stood in silence. He knew His purpose for being there...nothing to debate. Can you imagine the confidence Jesus had that day? Preceeding His questioning, what did He do? He prayed in the garden. Prayer is essential to sustaining our confidence. God supplies us with the wisdom and guidance we need to navigate through life when we seek Him out through prayer.

Maybe you are facing an opponent who wants to question you and break you down mentally and emotionally. Consult with God so you can have the confidence to stand in silence and block their attacks. Some of the wisest men I've known have said very little, but when they speak, it has soundness and much wisdom. Seek God daily to remain confident in life and withstand the need to debate your faith. It's not debatable. Your faith is secure in Christ. Walk in confidence today friend. God bless.
