Whom, When, How to Deliver
The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of Judgment.
~ 2 Peter 2:9
"The godly are tempted and tried, but they are delivered out of their trials - not by chance, or by secondary agencies, but by the Lord Himself. He personally undertakes the office of delivering those who trust Him.
Sometimes their way seems to be a labyrinth, and they cannot imagine how they will escape. But the Lord knows whom to deliver, when to deliver, and how to deliver. He delivers in the way that is most beneficial to the godly, most crushing to the tempter, and most glorifying to Himself. We may leave the "how" with the Lord and be content to rejoice in the fact that He will, in some way or other, bring Hiw own people through all the dangers, trials, and temptations of this mortal life."
(By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
Thank You Lord, for delivering Your chosen people in the appointed time. In Jesus' Precious Name, Amen.
