Sometimes I wonder if I should say something when maybe I shouldn't. I guess the rule would be when in doubt, don't shout out. But I also know that in trying to walk in the footsteps of Christ, I am going to be called to sometimes do things that are difficult or uncomfortable. Christ spoke out and He did not hesitate or worry about the consequences to Himself even though it eventually led Him to that fateful day on the cross. He knew how to approach His listeners even with uncomfortable stuff, and He also knew that only those with "ears to hear" would hear.
I can learn much from my life Coach about speaking out, but I think the biggest lesson is discernment. Is what I am prompted to say coming from a heart focused on Christ, or one focused on me?
Lord, I pray that when I speak out, it is Christ-focused and that I do so in a way that people with ears to hear will hear.
