A Spiritual Battle

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: Well, there’s been quite a political earthquake here in the United States this week. It appears the Supreme Court may soon rule to overturn the decision that legalized abortion in America. While many have prayed and worked toward that end for decades, a reversal of Roe v. Wade won’t automatically make abortion illegal in our country. In fact, activists will continue working hard to legalize abortion, state by state.

But here’s what we need to remember: Ultimately, the fight over abortion is a spiritual struggle, more than a legal one. The Bible tells us we wrestle, not “against flesh and blood, but against the . . . cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places” (Eph. 6:12).

So here on the National Day of Prayer, let's cry out to God to move the hearts of men and women to submit to His rule—whether in the Supreme Court, in the media, abortion activists, and, yes, in our own churches and homes.

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth.
