Deliver us from evil

Even though some may choose to believe evil does not exist in the earth, our Lord was well aware of it’s presence as His prayer given us says “Deliver us from evil” (Matthew 6:9-13).

Did you know the wicked are estranged from the womb , as their purpose in life is to cause unrest in the lives of others. It is all in Gods plan to show the righteous that His judgment is truly in the earth, and we can put our trust in Him for our deliverance! (Psalm 58:3-5,10-11) The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely. The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

Just as God causes the rain to fall upon the righteous as well as the wicked, we learn the wicked will always be among us till they be removed on the day of judgment. In the mean time God is more than able to deliver His people. Lot endured the ungodly of Sodom and Go-mor’-rha, but God delivered him! (2 Peter 2:6-9) And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.

As we walk with the Lord through this life we can take comfort in knowing our enemy will not prevail over us, for the God we serve will deliver us from all evil (Psalm 97:9-12) For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

With God we have the power to overcome evil with good, and remember everything is under the watchful eye of God and we never walk alone! (Romans 12:17-21) Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. 

Psalm 121

  1. Interesting article! It very well may be that there is a difference between those born out of lust and those born out of love and absolutely the mental disposition (spirit) in which they are ultimately raised.

    3 The wicked H7563 are estranged H2114 from the womb: H7358 they go astray H8582 as soon as they be born, H990 speaking H1696 lies. H3577

    4 Their poison H2534 is like H1823 the poison H2534 of a serpent: H5175 they are like the deaf H2795 adder H6620 that stoppeth H331 her ear; H241

    5 Which will not hearken H8085 to the voice H6963 of charmers, H3907 charming H2266 H2267 never so wisely. H2449

    6 Break H2040 their teeth, H8127 O God, H430 in their mouth: H6310 break out H5422 the great teeth H4459 of the young lions, H3715 O LORD. H3068

    7 Let them melt away H3988 as waters H4325 which run continually: H1980 when he bendeth H1869 his bow to shoot his arrows, H2671 let them be as cut in pieces. H4135

    8 As a snail H7642 which melteth, H8557 let every one of them pass away: H1980 like the untimely birth H5309 of a woman, H802 that they may not see H2372 the sun. H8121

    9 Before your pots H5518 can feel H995 the thorns, H329 he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, H8175 both living, H2416 and in his wrath. H2740

  2. Amen 🙏 God is our deliverer and protector. We can trust Him to overcome evil with good and walk with us always.

    • You have said the key word Willie….. Trust. So many do not trust in the power of Christ. Its more a formality to say they are a Christian and deny the power that could be theirs. Trust and faith go hand in hand.

      Have a Blessed Day in the Lord

      • Amen 🙏 Trust unlocks the power of Christ in our lives, and faith keeps us anchored in Him even when we can’t see the outcome. Let’s keep walking in that trust every day.

      • It’s not always easy, but we hold onto the hope and faith that when we glorify the Lord, we are met with His love, grace, and mercy. 🙏
