Mutes...

What would you do if one day you find yourself in a courtroom and you are being accused of something you apparently did and your defense attorney it tells you that the best thing you can do is keep quiet and do not defend yourself even if they give you the only chance to tell the version of your story and get rid of a conviction? Would you take advice from your lawyer? Or would you do the impossible to prove your innocence? Don't feel bad, I also thought about disobeying my lawyer. This week I meditated in Isaiah chapter 53. And God made me remember all the moments where he has taught me to mute or to silence before a defense opportunity. Believe me these lessons are not so easy to pass approved, but they are not impossible. Look at verse 7, NIV: Mistreated and humiliated, he didn't even open his mouth; As a lamb, he was taken to the slaughterhouse; As a sheep, speechless before his shearer; And he didn't even open his mouth.'' The first time God wanted to give me my first lesson in learning led me to read this verse. I felt powerless, because the first thing you want to do when you hear someone accuses you of something or someone tells you what they are talking bad about you or maybe a problem happens and only you seem guilty; You just want to defend yourself and tell your version of the story. But as I read this, God was telling me the opposite. In fact he asks us to be like that lamb who goes to the slaughterhouse and like that sheep that mutes before his shearer in the middle of an accusation against you. And I know what you're thinking, ''This is crazy'' Why would God ask us something like that?'' Well the answer is simple: he wants to be your defense attorney.

When you try to solve things by your own hand, you run the risk of making it worse. And God knows that. In addition to the accuser against whom you face, it is not the people who are speaking bad of you or who are making you look like the guilty of that problem, but against the accuser #1 ''Revelation 12:10, NIV: 'The Salvation and power and the Kingdom of our God have already come.; The authority of his Christ has already come. For the Accuser (the Devil) of our brethren, who accused them day and night before our God, has been expelled.'' and the best of all is that our God through Jesus muting on the cross obtained that authority to overcome him. Who would say that when you shut up and not defend yourself is how you get a victory?

I know how it feels like nobody's ever heard the version of your story. But it doesn't matter if someone human doesn't listen to it, the important thing is that it was already heard by your defense attorney: God. Mutes. Let it be he who in his time, in his own way and in his perfect will, is the one who speaks for you.
