"Silent Strength"

He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.

Isaiah 53:7 NIV

Do you know how much strength it takes to NOT open your mouth and say something when you know you have EVERY right to?

Jesus had EVERY right to open his mouth and say something when he was being oppressed, when he was being afflicted, but He didn't; he didn't open his mouth. Instead, He chose to remain silent.

Jesus choosing to remain silent and NOT say what His flesh possibly wanted to say in that moment is a HUGE LESSON for us in strength, in maturity, in disciplining ourselves... Because as His disciples we can't just haul off and say whatever we want, at any given time.

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. James 1:19 NIV

And that takes strength....

We would all do well though to remember the words of the Apostle Paul:

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Philip 4:13 NKJ

BELOVED, Jesus has given us BOTH the mental strength and the physical strength we need to do all things, EVEN THE HARD THINGS that life sometimes requires...We can be silent & still be strong!!

Until Next Sunday.
