Original Broadcast: May 2009
Monthly Theme: The Lord's Prayer
YHWH will keep your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore.
(Psalm 121:8)
As we look this morning at the petition, "But deliver us from evil," we take the one thing that's constant throughout life: God is with us all the time. This blessing is given many times at confirmations and ordinations. It's a great comfort for those receiving it. How comforting it is to be reminded of the everlasting presence of our Creator and Preserver God.
We pray in this petition that God would be with us throughout our days and "finally, when our last hour comes, give us a blessed end, and graciously take us from this valley of sorrow to Himself in Heaven" (SC III, 8). That's the ultimate deliverance from evil--when we are brought to our heavenly Father's place in Heaven where there is no evil. A place of perfect peace. A place where we can truly rest from our struggles in this world. Amen.
