Often, the greatest understanding that we are speaking for God is when we are saying nothing. To attempt to explain ourselves can often lead to "pearls before swine," and further misunderstanding of God's intent (Matthew 7:6). To defend God and what He is doing in our lives is often a fruitless endeavor. If the Lord decides to give understanding to those who misunderstand, that is His business. Until then, we should wait on the Lord and allow Him to do His desire (Psalm 27:14).
Has someone falsely accused you? The human tendency is to go to this person and attempt to explain oneself. However, did the Lord Jesus ever do similarly? His position was that of the Father's. He would not speak or act without His permission. Too often we set out to make things right and abort what God is trying to do in someone else's life. When and if they are ready to hear, He will orchestrate their epiphany with or without our involvement.
