Day 5: Deliverance from Evil
Friday, May 23, 2025


Reading: Ephesians 6:10-18, James 4:7-10

The final petition, "lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil," acknowledges our vulnerability and need for God's protection. It's a humble admission that we can't resist temptation or overcome evil on our own. Reflect on areas where you feel particularly vulnerable to temptation or spiritual attack. How can you better equip yourself with the "armor of God" described in Ephesians? Consider establishing a daily practice of putting on this spiritual armor through prayer and meditation on God's Word. Remember, our ultimate hope for deliverance rests not in our own strength, but in God's power and grace.
