God will stand beside those who'll stand beside Him. He'll be our protector and our defender against evil. He'll also give us strength daily to live our lives obedient and in accordance to his every will. We must look to Him and focus on the love and concern that he has for us as His children. When temptations come our way, he has promised to deliver the godly out of these temptations. He has also promised to make for us a way of escape from them. It's our duty to look or to recognize this way when God makes this provision. ~ Alma Norman (OBC Ladies Daily Devotional Staff Writer IM’s www.stgcoc.com) "The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished." (2 Pet.2:9)
