HE KNOWS HOW TO RESCUE
2 Peter 2:9 if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment. (NIV)
God has delivered us from sin by Christ's sacrifice of Himself for our sins. Today, we may face many trials, temptations and hardship. But God never leaves us alone. He rescues us from trials, and the Bible says He knows how to.
Lot is an example that God rescues the righteous from troubles. Lot lived among wicked and lawless people but the Lord rescued him while He destroyed the wicked for their wickedness.
2 Peter 2:7,9 and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless... if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.
Lot's trials and distress came as a result of the depraved and lawless acts of the lawless and wicked people he lived among. That tells us something; most of the trials and troubles we face is because of the wickedness of the wicked in our day. If everyone were righteous we would have less trouble in this world.
But thanks be to God who does not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear. And also provides a way out of it victoriously.
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation[c] has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
God knows how to rescue the righteous from trials, troubles and temptations. When faced with such don't be perturbed, knowing that He will provide a way out for you. We all face trials from time to time in diverse ways but when we fix our eyes on Him He rescues us and gives us the victory.
The Lord knows the way out of your troubles and He will deliver you out of them all. Only keep His Word in your heart and mouth and He will fix things up for your victory.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank You for being my rescuer and deliverer from troubles. Thank You for not allowing me to be tempted beyond what I can bear, but provides a way out. You know the way out of my troubles, lead me out victoriously, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
