S - 2 Peter 2:9 So you see, the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials, even while keeping the wicked under punishment until the day of final judgment.
O - In this section of the chapter, Peter is talking about the sin that was all around Lot. However, Lot was saved from this sin. God had a way to protect Lot and to bring him out of this sin and live a Godly life.
A - This same kind of sin and every other sin is around me and my family daily. I need to first of all identify these sins and not become numb to them and start to downplay them and think that maybe they are not as bad as I once thought. Secondly, I need to take a stand against these sins. At times this may just be an internal stand while other times it might be something that I need to say outloud to my children or wife or even those just around me. My first job is to protect my wife and children from evil and without taking a stand, my lack of stand may show my family that this evil maybe isn't so bad. Thirdly, I need to constantly be looking to and praying to God for His protection and guidence through life. He will protect and if it gets really bad, He will rescue us from these trials and sins.
P - God, You are the author and protecter of life. I pray that you will continue to watch over my family and me and to protect us from these sins that are all around us and that you will give me the courage to stand up against these sins and lead my family. You are the reason that I am where I am today and I want to honor you and praise you with my life and the life of my family. I pray for protection and healing over all of us.
