Luke 4: 31-37
Jesus went down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee. He taught them on the sabbath, and they were astonished at his teaching because he spoke with authority. In the synagogue there was a man with the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out in a loud voice, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are--the Holy One of God!" Jesus rebuked him and said, “Be quiet! Come out of him!" Then the demon threw the man down in front of them and came out of him without doing him any harm. They were all amazed and said to one another, "What is there about his word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out." And news of him spread everywhere in the surrounding region.
Dawg's Thought:
Today's prayer intention - for an end to abortion and the use of contraception.
As I read through today's reading, I humbly said to myself, "Lord, be my Champion." Which awakened my heart to realize that I need a Champion. I need Christ to defend me from my own thoughts throughout the day.
"What is there about His word?"
I will be honest with you: the one time during the day I really sit with the words of Christ is now. Yet, throughout my day, as I'm anxious about many things, I forget about my Champion. I forget that I have the words of my Champion within reach. I forget that I have my Champion waiting for me to turn to Him.
Lord, be my Champion.
Take care and God Bless.
