Scripture: “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’” Matthew 6:13 NIV ““The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free,” Luke 4:18 NIV Application: God wouldn't create us with free will only to allow the devil to take it away. God wanted us to have free will to choose to love Him or reject Him. We can and should pray that He will direct our lives along safe paths that glorify Him, fully develop our potential, and minimize the likelihood of our being corrupted. We walk those paths with the option of getting off at any point and time. Satan will entice us to leave those paths and go against God. But Satan can't ever take over the free will that God designed in us. Our free wills, our free spirits, have been designed and preserved at a high price and are to be treasured. Prayer: We freely love You, Father, with all of our hearts. Direct us and protect us as we develop into our full potential that gives You glory. Amen. Comments are closed.
