II Peter 2:9 (NLT) The Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials…
“A clear translation of Matthew 6:13 shows that Jesus actually directed us to pray: Father, should we at any point be led into any temptation, test or trial, we want to come out delivered and victorious.” Any circumstances designed to lead us astray obviously do not come from the Lord (James 1:13-14). But the reality of everyday life confronts us with challenges and trials, which Satan takes advantage of in order to accuse God to us and us to God. Paul wrote, “the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly Kingdom” (II Tim. 4:18). Thank God for His promises! Temptation can be quick to rise and subtle in its approach. So every day we should pray, deliver us from evil. God will show us a way of escape (I Cor. 10:13). Watch for it.
