But he knew their thoughts and said to them, \u201cEvery kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste and house will fall against house. And if Satan is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that it is by Beelzebul that I drive out demons. If I, then, drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own people drive them out? Therefore they will be your judges. But if it is by the finger of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. When a strong man fully armed guards his palace, his possessions are safe. But when one stronger than he attacks and overcomes him, he takes away the armor on which he relied and distributes the spoils. Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. When an unclean spirit goes out of someone, it roams through arid regions searching for rest but, finding none, it says, \u2018I shall return to my home from which I came.\u2019 But upon returning, it finds it swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and brings back seven other spirits more wicked than itself who move in and dwell there, and the last condition of that man is worse than the first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Opening Prayer: <\/strong>Lord, I come before you this morning, renewing my gratitude at the privilege I have to address you, listen to your words, and hear you speak into my life. Help me to understand the Scriptures you give me today and draw from them an unmistakable message by which to live.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The Power of God: <\/strong>The crowd in this Scripture passage obviously recognized in Jesus an incredible power. They had witnessed him driving out a demon. What they couldn\u2019t see, however, was the origin of this power. They attributed Jesus\u2019 power to the devil. And they followed up by asking for a sign\u2014as if expulsion of devils wasn\u2019t enough. What caused their blindness? Were they hungry for truth or just anxious about preserving the status quo? Therein is a lesson for us. When we find ourselves afraid of change or confused by circumstances, let us not \u201ctest\u201d Jesus by asking for a sign. Rather, let us proclaim our faith in God Almighty and trust, like children of the King, that he has our best interests at heart.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>He Meets Us Where We Are:<\/strong> Jesus responded to the crowd\u2019s challenges, not with complex theological language, but by drawing on their own experience to make his point. \u201cIf I, then, drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own people drive them out?\u201d His goal was not to insult or belittle. He wanted them to step away from the emotion of the moment and use their reason to come to the conclusion that \u201cthe kingdom of God has come upon you.\u201d Strong emotion or fear can prevent us from receiving from Jesus the truth that offers us the ultimate consolation: Jesus is always present, near us, loving and supporting us, suffering with us. This truth is not a complex reality. When we take the time to quiet our hearts, read and reflect on the Scriptures, and pray, we can have very personal, intimate experiences confirming that Jesus knows and loves us.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>God Is Bigger<\/strong>: Jesus encountered and conquered evil in the person of Beelzebul, and he continues to do so today. Where Satan is concerned, we do well to take this advice from C. S. Lewis: \u201cThere are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them.\u201d We know Satan is powerful, but we are assured that \u201cthe gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against the Church\u201d (Mt 16:18). Therefore, we pray for delivery from evil and for the grace to remain peaceful and secure in the love of God, if and when we feel its presence in our lives. And we continue to put on the armor of God (cf. Eph 6:11), gathering on his behalf the souls he places in our lives.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ: <\/strong>Lord, may I never doubt your power to conquer evil in the world or in my heart. Equip me with the armor I need to be your foot-soldier. I declare my confidence in you, even in the midst of the world\u2019s chaos. Knowing you love me personally strengthens my resolve to do your will in all things.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Resolution:<\/strong> Lord, today by your grace I will take a moment to renounce Satan and renew my desire to do your will in all circumstances.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>For Further Reflection:<\/strong> Any books by C. S. Lewis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maribeth Harper celebrated paying the last tuition bill for her kids\u2019 college by writing a book for parents who have college-aged young adults: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Spiritual-Toolbox-Parenting-through-College\/dp\/B0C6BX5G3R\">A Spiritual Toolbox: Tips for Parenting through the First Year of College<\/a>.
