Spiritual Warfare: 'Understanding Is a Gift from God'

God's Power for Our Battles — Tuesday, June 2, 2026

Moses summoned all the Israelites and said to them, “You have seen with your own eyes everything the Lord did in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to his whole country — all the great tests of strength, the miraculous signs, and the amazing wonders. But to this day the Lord has not given you minds that understand, nor eyes that see, nor ears that hear!“
— Deuteronomy 29:2-4 NLT

Today's Prayer

Lord, now I realize the eyes that can truly see, ears that can really hear, and a mind that actually understands are all gifts from You; gifts from above. Please give me these gifts so I can take in Your glory and help others to realize Your love and power. I want to know You better and understand what You are at work doing around me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
