Deliver Us from What? Feb.18

 

One version of Mt.6: 13 says “don’t allow us to be tempted, but instead, deliver us from the evil one.” [God’s Word Translation]

So, we are to be delivered from evil. You see, it seems to me Evil does not want you to be TOO evil because then you might repent now that Satan is not in full control. So, his strategy may be to disguise evil with what appears goodness, like its ok to cheat a little bit against the government because they are such bullies. In other words, the end result can justify the means of how you get there.

We have to pray and stay alert to disguised goodness…Just like Jesus showed us in his temptation experience. [Mt.4:1-11].

Jesus certainly knew living daily was much less complicated when we can avoid evil trouble, not have to redo our mistakes or dishonesties.

Prayer: Heavenly father, lead us in every pathway, move us out of the way of evil.
