HE IS ABLE, ARE WE WILLING

 

 

Jude 24

 

 

"Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy." ESV

 

Will we stumble in our Christian walk? We will. Will we fall to the ground or will we allow the Lord to hold us up? We do not become Godly robots when we are born again. Our brains and our own desires are not replaced with a Godly remote control, so that we just go along in the world with no care of what happens because God has the controller in His hands. God tells us repeatedly in His Word, if we obey, if we stand firm, if we put on the armor, if we endure, if we stir up our faith, we will win the crown of eternal life Jesus Christ paid for with His own blood. He gives the promise, we choose to accept it by faith. Faith without works is dead.

 

 

Heavenly Father, we do not take Your great and precious promise of eternal life half heartedly. Forgive us for being spiritually lazy and thinking that we can hold on to our own selfish ways. Put increasing hunger in our hearts to fight the good fight, understand we are in a spiritual battle, and need to respond to the call to stand strong and endure by faith in Christ. In His name we pray, Amen.

PROTECTION OUR SECURITY

 

 

1 Corinthians 1:8

 

"(our God), who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ." ESV

 

What a comforting fact. He will give us all that we need to come into His presence with clean hearts. With God, there is always that one requirement that is repeated over and over in His Word. If we endure, faint not, don't give up, keep running the race, stand strong, overcome, endure, stay alert, do not be deceived, and keep, stir up, and guard our faith.

 

Heavenly Father, what an awesome God You are to give this eternal security to the likes of us. Help us to remember that our part is to keep the faith and endure in a world that keeps battering our faith and to stand strong against the enemy who seeks to devour our souls. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

GOD'S GRACE

To have the shield of God's divine protection, His salvation,
is to be safe in His care through all trials and tribulations.
Our God gives us power and courage to stand strong in the
face of danger. There is nothing we have done to deserve
this kind and generous favor of God in our lives. It is only
because of His great love and grace toward us.

Heavenly Father, we can never earn or deserve the favor You
lavish on us. We can only offer our lives to you as witnesses
of your mercy and grace. In Jesus' name.

Read Psalm 18:35

"You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains
me; you stoop down to make me great." (NIV)

"Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right
hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great."
(KJV)
