Lord's Day Devotion - Prayer - Rescue

 

Father God, you promised to keep us strong to the end so that we can be enriched in every way, that is, in holiness and blamelessness because we are in fellowship with your son Jesus Christ and because of your faithfulness (1 Corinthians 1:4-9).  I rest in the knowledge.

We, your children, do struggle something fierce at times but also know that the temptations we are tempted by will not be more than we can bear, #1, and that #2, you provide a way out.  Make us wise enough to take hold of such rescue (1 Corinthians 10:13-11:1).

As we come before the Lord's table this Lord's Day, to break the bread and drink of the cup of remembrance of Jesus' broken body and shed blood for us, we thank You once again for giving us salvation and your Holy Spirit who helps keep us strong in the Lord and in fellowship with Him.

Thank-You for the rescue from our sins, death and Hell.  Also for the rescue available for our daily living in resistance against temptations, which abound and beset us.

Your faithfulness O Father, reaches to the Heavens.

In Jesus' name we praise and pray.
