Christian Devotional – November 21, 2010

VERSE:
John 17:15–I do not ask to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one.

TRUTH:
Jesus prayed for his disciples. He doesn’t ask that they avoid problems all together, but that they avoid the evil one. We are going to have difficulties in this world, Jesus is not taking us away from the hard times. But He will help us avoid the temptation to sin while in the midst of them.

RESPONSE:
Lord, help me to seek You through the tough times, knowing that You are there are will help me go through them without listening to the evil one.
