Pray:
Ask God to sharpen your discernment.


ENCOUNTER — Night 2

Scripture (BSB): Genesis 3:4-5
4 “You will not surely die,” the serpent told her.
5 “For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Thank God for defining good and evil clearly.
