Daily Inspiration Quote by Jay Alan Sekulow

Conversion stories usually arrive dressed as emotion; Sekulow’s arrives dressed as evidence. “As I read” is doing the heavy lifting here, establishing a courtroom posture before the revelation even lands. He’s not “moved” or “overwhelmed.” He’s persuaded. The phrasing turns faith into a brief: suspicion, confirmation, conclusion. That’s lawyerly ethos deployed for spiritual ends, meant to reassure skeptical listeners that belief can be rational, methodical, even disciplined.

The word “suspicion” is a crafty choice. It’s modest enough to sound intellectually honest (he didn’t begin as a zealot), yet pointed enough to imply the answer was already tugging at him. “Might really be” signals an internal negotiation between inherited categories (Jesus as teacher, prophet, myth) and the high-stakes claim of “the Messiah.” Then “was confirmed” implies an external standard of proof: the texts themselves, presumably Scripture, function like admissible documents rather than devotional artifacts.

Context matters. Sekulow is a prominent conservative legal advocate in American public life, where religion is often litigated as much as lived. In that arena, testimony has a dual audience: believers who want validation, and doubters who demand reasons. This line works because it merges both. It sanctifies reading as investigation, not capitulation, and smuggles a claim about authority: the right books, read correctly, will ratify the right conclusion. It’s less a private epiphany than a public argument for credibility, packaged as personal narrative.
