2 Peter 2:9a

"...then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations..."

 I came across this today and I thought it was a great thought to hold on to; firstly that the Lord knows everything, and secondly that He will deliver the godly out of temptations.

 I hope that realization blesses you as much as it blessed me!

I THINK THIS IS SUCH A POWERFUL SONG!!!!!!!!!!! I'd heard it before years ago but I didn't remember it! I'm so glad I've found it again! Here are the lyrics: Pure and holy Son of God, Taking on the form of man; Left the glory of His throne, Came to bring salvation's plan. Righteous Father, Holy One, Looking down on us in Love; Gave to us His only Son, Sent with blessings from above.

I thought it was quite interesting. What do you think of it?

Leave it to me, Child, Leave it to me.

Leave it to me, Child, leave it to Me, Dearer thy garden to me than to thee, Lift up thy heart, Child, lift up thine eyes, Naught can defeat Me, naught can surprise. Leave it to me, Child, leave it to Me, Trust in the Wall of Fire, look up and see Stars in their courses shine through the night Both are alike to me -- darkness and light. Leave it to me, Child, leave it to me, Let stop the burden too heavy for thee. That which I will, My Hand shall perform, Fair are the lilies that weather the storm. By Amy Carmichael (Written after a storm had threatened to ruin her garden, but rather "washed" it. The flowers that came through the storm were more beautiful afterwards. She remembered then that her garden of beloved children were even dearer to God than to her. She would trust Him to perfect them.) I heard this as a song the other day, and it's been going round in my head ever since! How lovely to know that we can trust God and leave it all to Him.
