Day 1: Sheep Among Wolves
Reading: Matthew 10:16-20
Jesus' words about sending His disciples out as "sheep among wolves" remind us that following Christ often means facing opposition. Yet, He doesn't leave us defenseless. We're called to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves - a challenging balance of discernment and purity. Today, reflect on areas in your life where you feel vulnerable or opposed because of your faith. How can you apply Christ-like wisdom and innocence in these situations? Remember, just as Jesus promised His disciples, the Holy Spirit is with you, providing the words and strength you need in difficult moments. Pray for guidance in navigating challenging environments while maintaining your Christian witness.
