KEPT FROM EVIL!
John 17:15 – Devotional
John 17:15
“I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You would keep them from the evil of the world.“
It literally sends chills up and down my spine to understand that Jesus actually prayed for each and every believer! As we read the words of this beautiful prayer of our Lord, it is awesome to remember that He has each of us written in the palm of His hand. Accept this mighty prayer in your behalf.
Jesus could have easily taken all of His disciples with Him when He ascended into heaven. He didn’t! Jesus had a plan and purpose for the disciples of His day as well as the believers of all ages.
Read today’s Scripture once more. Jesus has a plan and purpose for each believer. Some have been called to endure suffering and sacrifice, others a life of plenty in which to give to the work of ministry.
Things change rapidly and we will never know from moment to moment whether we will live or die for the Lord. There is one thing we can know for certain; He has prayed this prayer for you knowing every moment of your life. What are you doing for Him?
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
