Fantastic Friday #425 - Deliver

Deliver

And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith. But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. We have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we command. 2 Thessalonians 3:2-4
 

There are many people and spiritual forces fighting against us daily.  Throughout this, we are expected in life to deliver on a daily basis.  We are expected to deliver our best in many ways and sometimes people require us to deliver quickly without pondering or praying.  When we deliver sub-par performances we can disappoint others and sometimes we can be super hard on ourselves.  When you find yourself around negative and emotionally draining people, do you find it easy to get swallowed in by their negativity?  Do you have it within your own power to deliver yourself from this environment?  I have seen a number of times how God is faithful in my life and sometimes I get so caught up in trying to deliver myself out of a situation where I cannot see how God has been faithful in the past.  We need to remember to daily have confidence and faith in the Lord that He will deliver us from anything that is fighting against us.  Even when the enemy battles against our delivery, we need to rely on the on-time delivery of our Father in Heaven.  For His delivery is always on time.
Have a great weekend.
