Kept
Psalm 91:9-10
“The Christian knows hours of temptation, which differ from hours of gracious care and preservation from temptation.”
—TEMPTATION
The more that we are kept safe and secure, the more that we become candidates for temptation. This is not to suggest that being protected is not a wonderful thing. But we readily fail to appreciate God’s protecting hand over our lives and begin to take things for granted. In this way we become candidates for temptation. For there is no more vulnerable place than the one where we assume that everything is okay and where we fail to look to God.
Thought
The place of safety can only be where we walk humbly with our God, are aware of our vulnerability, and constantly look to Him to keep and sustain us.
