Spiritual Warfare: 'Faith Saves and Is Rewarded'

God's Power for Our Battles — Tuesday, September 15, 2026

It was by faith that Noah built a large boat to save his family from the flood. He obeyed God, who warned him about things that had never happened before. By his faith Noah condemned the rest of the world, and he received the righteousness that comes by faith.
— Hebrews 11:7 NLT

Today's Prayer

Lord, I know that Noah had a saving faith. It led him to listen and obey, honoring You through his obedience, and even causing You to count it as righteousness. I want to have that kind of saving faith. Help me to be diligent and committed in my daily walk with You. Help me to honor You, obey You, and follow the examples of Jesus. Help me to separate myself from the wicked ways of the world around me and learn to heed Your warnings. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
