Temptation and Delivery

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

Verse: “The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgement to be punished.” – 2 peter 2:9

Quote: “But the godly are delivered out of their trials, and that not by chance, nor by secondary agencies, but by the Lord himself.  He personally undertakes the office of delivering those who trust him.”

You are going to face trials in your life and rightly so.  When you persevere, you emerge from them closer to God and with a better understanding of the life He has for you.  God insists on trials, be He also insists on being with you every step of the way.  “He personally undertakes the office of delivering those who trust him.”  That was worth repeating.
