Every seventh year is the Sabbath year when debts are forgiven. Every seven times seven years is the great year of Jubilee, when all land reverts back to the original family owner regardless of the outstanding debts and leases. Our Father does not want families disinherited. Throughout the Bible, Father, you teach us to forgive. The word temptation literally means tribulation .
Tribulation has a special meaning in the Bible.
It refers to God s covenantal curses incurred for infidelity of the covenant. From Evil can also mean from the evil one , the devil. We ask you, Father, not only to protect us from evil deeds, but especially to guard us from falling under the influence of the evil one. Protect us also, our Father, from ourselves. Temptation is a covenant reality which we often bring upon ourselves by our pride.
