Have you ever felt like an unseen force was holding you back, like something beyond your control kept you from living fully? In today’s story, we witness Jesus facing a demon who tries to defy Him even while knowing His power. The demon’s defiance is met with fear because even the forces of darkness recognize who Jesus is. This confrontation shows us that no matter how powerful evil seems, it is always subject to Jesus’ authority. What areas in your life feel like they are under siege? Just as Jesus cast out the demon with a word, He can deliver you from the burdens that oppress you. We are reminded that spiritual battles may come, but we never face them alone. Will you trust in Jesus’ power to bring peace into the chaos of your life?
