Ephesians 1:15–23 Psalm 8:1–2ab, 3–6 (WEB numbering; verse 2 ends at “because of your adversaries”) Luke 12:8–12 Scripture translation: World English Bible (WEB), Updated edition (American English; WEBU). Source: eBible.org — https://ebible.org/engwebu/ I’d like courage to feel like certainty before I need it. Jesus speaks to disciples who may have to answer before powerful people, and he directs them toward the Holy Spirit’s help. He takes their witness seriously, including the warning about blaspheming the Spirit. I hear no invitation to be careless with God. But Paul’s prayer is for opened eyes: that we would know our hope and the greatness of God’s power. The psalm puts our smallness beneath the heavens beside the dignity God gives us. I can hold both. I’m neither the center of everything nor somebody God has overlooked. When pressure comes, my task is to remain faithful to Christ, trust his help, and speak truthfully—even before I feel brave.
