<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nDaily Reading:<\/strong> Joshua 21:1-22:20 ESV<\/a>, Luke 20:1-26 ESV<\/a>, Psalm 89:1-13 ESV<\/a>, Proverbs 13:15-16 ESV<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Daily Verse:<\/strong> \u201cAnd they were not able in the presence of the people to catch him in what he said, but marveling<\/em> at his answer they became silent.\u201d (Luke 20:26 ESV<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n THAUMAZO (2296): \u201c<\/strong>This word means to wonder, wonder at, and hence to be had in admiration.\u201d[i]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Wonder admiringly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Religious leaders know no bounds in their pursuit of discrediting Jesus. Sending in spies, pretending sincerity, they asked Jesus sneaky questions to try and trap Him. But God knows the plans of men, and with barely the blink of an eye, Jesus defeats them with His words, rendering them silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Watching Jesus in action does cause one to marvel. Miracles begin to happen when we apply God\u2019s word to our lives. The impossible becomes possible when God gets involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From the pit of the valley, Jesus helped me find the mountaintop. Like Jesus, I have people in my life constantly trying to trap me with my words. Not believers, they continuously attack my faith, looking for chinks in the armor. But with Jesus, my weakness becomes strength, chinks don\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Put on God\u2019s armor.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Protect yourself against naysayers by clothing yourself in God\u2019s attire.\u00a0 Ground yourself in God\u2019s truth, wearing righteousness as your breastplate and the gospel of peace for shoes, always at the ready.\u00a0 Carry the shield of faith to extinguish the devil\u2019s fiery darts. Allow the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit to protect you, remaining constant in prayer (Ephesians 6:10-18 ESV<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you become comfortable in God\u2019s armor, you\u2019ll marvel more at His works in your life. Watching as God defeats the enemy attacks will encourage and uplift you. Truth destroys lies as God reveals it in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When people attack your faith in Jesus, respond with love. Don\u2019t take their words personally; remember, we battle not against flesh and blood but spiritual forces. Pray for them, asking God to illuminate their lives with His truth, letting them marvel in His wondrous works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [i]<\/a> Strong, J., & Strong, J. (2010).
