Today's reading: Matthew 8

This gets a little meta, but the Word of Christ that jumps out at me today is "with a word"—as in, what Jesus uses to cast out evil spirits (v. 16). Lord, this is why it's so vital for your Word to dwell richly within me: it has power! Grant that your healing, renewing Word take residence in my heart. "Cast out our sin, and enter in, / be born in us today!" (LSB 361:4).

What's your Word?
