Day 8- He is our deliverance
God is faithful, and His protection is our strength
Today’s Scripture
1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, 2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. 4 And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, both that you do and will do the things we command you. 5 Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ. 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5
Additional Scripture: Ephesians 6:12
Reflect on the Word
It is God’s job to deliver us. It is our job to pray and ask for it. And though Paul asks for deliverance from wicked people, he says the Lord will protect us from the evil one. This is a reminder our protection is not against flesh and blood—not even the flesh and blood of evil people—but the principalities and powers at work within them (Eph. 6:12). And God will protect us. But He will first strengthen us. So, when deliverance seems to tarry, trust that the pressure is directing you into God’s love and forming Jesus’ perseverance within you.

Tabernacle Prayer
In the Old Testament, the Tabernacle was the dwelling place of God, built to His specifications, where He would meet with His people, the Israelites. As they entered the Tabernacle, they passed through seven stations, following God’s instructions, to experience His presence. Today, even though we no longer need the physical Tabernacle to meet with God, these same steps can help us connect with Him. This prayer model will take us through each station of the Tabernacle and use the purpose of each station to guide our prayers.
01. THE OUTER COURT
THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. PSALM 100:4
Think of a fresh reason to thank God. You can write down a list, sing your own song of praise, or just spend time reflecting on your gratitude and praise toward God.
Prayer + Contemplation
1. Where are you taking deliverance and protection into your own hands instead of trusting in God to bring it about in His timing? Confess and place it in God’s hands.
2. Are there people about whom God needs to remind you that your battle is not with them? Pray to see them as God sees them, and pray for their deliverance and protection, too.
3. Pray to trust God as your deliverer, even amid painful trials and tribulations.
