Spiritual Warfare: 'Discovering God's Great Treasure'

God's Power for Our Battles — Thursday, April 23, 2026

Powerful people harass me without cause, but my heart trembles only at your word. I rejoice in your word like one who discovers a great treasure.
— Psalm 119:161-162 NLT

Today's Prayer

Lord, forgive me for not holding Your Holy Word in high esteem. Help me to honor it as a treasure from now on. Help me to study and know Your commands. Let that knowledge lead me to a healthy fear of hell and of displeasing You so I will be totally committed to truth, love, and righteousness in my daily life. Your words truly are a treasure - a great treasure leading me to the way of life and eternity with You. May that day come soon, Lord, and may I serve You faithfully until then. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
