In the Lord ’s Prayer, Jesus asks His heavenly Father to
deliver us from evil (Mt 6:13). We often get deliverance through warnings. However, when the Lord is warning of a
possible mistake we might make or sin we may fall into, we can feel vulnerable
and weak. The question is, if God is so
faithful and caring so as to warn us before danger or entrapment, why can’t we
trust Him to deliver us?
When we have our eyes on our weakness our enemy takes advantage
of our introspection. He brings
accusations, saying that we are abandoned, condemned, and despised by God. This is the arsenal of satan. If we were smart
we’d realize that our God sent the warning for victory. Our victory causes
satan to feel threatened, and that is why he attacks us.
God’s weapons are greater than our enemy’s. He exposes satan’s lies and sets his captives
free, for we are assigned to freedom, love, and an eternal relationship with
God. Today, let us rest in God’s great care of us and look forward to the
victory’s assigned to us. Amen.
