"Lead Us... Deliver Us..."

Informações:

Synopsis

Matthew 6:13. Dan Kroon. Temptations, testings and trials. We cringe at the thought of them, don’t we? They’re never nice and often painful. They continually demand our effort, energy and endurance. And that’s why Jesus gives us the last request of the Lord’s Prayer; because we need help. The Bible teaches us that God uses trials for good and the Devil uses them for bad. And while we admit some confusion about asking God to "not lead us into temptation," ultimately we are asking him to remove the power of sin in our lives and to increase the power of righteousness in our lives. To show us that there is no power (sin, Satan, or seduction) outside of his ultimate power. So we can ask God to simultaneously grow us through trials and deliver us from the temptation to sin.
