Rescue!

I read 2 Peter 2 today, and amidst the furious warning against false teachers i found a gem.

2 peter 2:9 "the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials"
Another version uses 'temptation' for 'trials'.

In the middle of the trials and temptation of these false teachers who distort the truth and take advantage of people and try to fill our minds with lusts and we have a massive promise to hang on to. The Lord rescued Noah, and he rescued Lot, proving that he is able, and compassionate toward his faithful and godly children.

So take heart and realise that although you're in amongst a wicked and perverse generation, and everything in the world seems offensive to you, as you become more sensitive to sin and aware of the Holiness of God - that He will Rescue you.
