deliver usMatthew 5:43-45 (PHILLIPS)
43-45 “You have heard that it used to be said, ‘You shall love your neighbour’, and ‘hate your enemy’, but I tell you, Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Heavenly Father. For he makes the sun rise upon evil men as well as good, and he sends his rain upon honest and dishonest men alike.

We serve a good God. He blesses us whether we are good or bad, active or still; in our work and in our play, in joy and in sorrow. Nothing we do can separate us from His abounding love and goodness. God is love and He is good!

Too may times we wrongly attribute the calamities we encounter on the will of God. We live in a broken world with the repercussions of sin bouncing off anything and everything. Without the supernatural protection of fervent prayer, we will suffer sin’s throws and pangs irregardless of its source.

Heavenly Father, “Deliver us from evil!” Amen.
