O - Jesus is explaining that He didn't cast out the demon by the power of Satan. He is warning the Pharisees that if they are not with Him that they are then against Him.
A - I also have this same choice to be for or against Jesus. The choice is more subtle though than just choosing a side once and being done. Instead this is a daily and hourly choice. Do I choose to go along with something that others are saying or doing to not cause any offense to them even though this is clearly against what Jesus has told me to do? Do I stand up to others when they may directly or indirectly question Jesus? These are the times that I need to show that I for for Him!
P - Father, Thank you so very much for your Son Jesus and the works that He did for us and the wisdom that He has showered on us. Help me to live a life full of boldness and confidence and to stand up for you daily and to always be on your side. Help me to pass this same desire on to my children and to equip them with the wisdom and understanding to stand firm in what they believe. Bless me and my family today and be with us.
