"The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation." 2 Peter 2:9

O, how continually is the poor child of God tempted! And what strong temptations!
How painful! How powerful!
How distracting!
How entangling! How harassing!
How bewitching!
How Satanic is the black devil!
How much more Satanic is the white devil!
How continually is the child of God exercised with temptation!

Temptations—so suitable—so powerful—so overpowering—that nothing but the grace of God can ever subdue the temptation, or deliver the soul out of it!
