And Lead Us Not Into Temptation

“And lead us not into temptation,” - Matthew 6.13

 

Think about it!

 

The above phrase is what we commonly call the “Lord’s Prayer.”  It was to be an example of things we should pray about.

 

How true, and how needful! “…lead us not into temptation,”

 

 

Sure, we all face testing and difficulty.  And yes, the Lord does test us and try us, to see how we will react -  but we can still pray, “…lead us not into temptation,”.

 

 

How many pitfalls can we avoid if we learn to ask, “…lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:”?

 

Christian friend, may we enjoy the Victory of our Christian Life!  May we see - on a regular basis - the struggles, the pitfalls, the temptations that our wonderful Heavenly Father keeps us from! And then may we say, “For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.”

 

Run with patience,

Pastor Tottingham
