He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth. Isaiah 53:7 (New Living Translation)
Ecclesiastes 3:7 tells us that there is the time for silence and the time for talk.
Child of God,
You need to be discerning with your lips;
When to open them and when to shut them up.
Jesus, after years of healing, teaching, striving, shouting, screaming...
It was time to go to the cross.
He faced much spite... contention... stigma... jeers... confrontation...
Ohhhhhh.....the need to explain... to show them in the scriptures... to prove to them he was not a weakling... to boast in their faces that he would rise again....
Yet, he opened not his mouth.
He was not stupid
He was not helpless
He was simply fulfilling destiny.
May your lips not come between you and your destiny.
-Sista Mercie
