Yesterday I read Matthew 27:24 "When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!”"

I have been struggling whether to stand up for something or like Pilate wash my hands off the whole thing. The commentary that came with this verse challenged me. I decided I wouldn't do as Pilate but stand up for what I believed was right, along with other women.

As if as confirmation, the passage I read today talked about how other women spoke up (Numbers 27:1-11). If they hadn't, they would not have anything. They were listened to and affirmed.
