_You Have a Defender_ ⚓️

*Today's Scripture*
He never sinned, nor ever deceived anyone. He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly. _(1 Peter 2:22-23, NLT)_

*Today's Word*
When Jesus was on earth, He went around doing good, healing the sick, lifting the fallen. He did nothing wrong, but He was misunderstood, criticized, belittled, ridiculed, and falsely accused. How did He respond to protect His reputation? Read today's Scripture. He didn't waste His time trying to prove to His critics that He was the Son of God. He just kept being His best, trusting His Father to settle His cases.

We all have people who come against us and make negative comments about us. We spend too much time worrying about what they think, trying to defend ourselves and prove to people who we are. Why don't you put your reputation in God's hands? He said He will defend you, and He will vindicate you far better than you can vindicate yourself. You don't have to retaliate, get even, prove that you're a nice person, or convince them to change their mind. God can do it better than you.

*The Power of Trusting God*
When we trust God with our reputation, we can walk in confidence and peace. We don't have to be controlled by the opinions of others. We can focus on being our best selves and trusting that God will work everything out for our good.

*A Prayer for Today* 🙏🏽
Father, thank You for the example that Jesus showed in His response to insults and false accusations. Thank You that I don't have to waste my time and energy trying to prove who I am or change what others think of me. You are my defender. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

*Reflection Questions*
- Who are some people who have come against you and made negative comments about you?
- How have you responded to them in the past?
- What would it look like for you to put your reputation in God's hands and trust Him to defend you?

May this devotional inspire you to trust in God's defense and vindication, and to focus on your own journey rather than comparing yourself to others. May you walk in confidence and purpose, knowing that God is working behind the scenes to bring about justice and vindication.

Have a blessed day!
