Luke 21:15

"Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,"

Key Reflection

In Luke 21:14, Jesus advises his disciples to be prepared for questioning but not to premeditate their answers, trusting instead in the Holy Spirit for wisdom and guidance in the moment. This teaches that true faith enables spontaneous and divinely inspired responses, rather than calculated defenses.
