Great
'JOY' Is Yours
As The LORD
Keeps
You From Falling! "To
HIM who
is able to keep you from falling and to present you before HIS
glorious presence without fault and with great
'JOY'"
Jude
1:24 Today,
being Monday, the first busy day of your week, we pray that you get your 'JOY'
ON and praise the LORD with us, the whole
week long! "
To HIM who
is able to keep you from falling.." What an
incredible concept and the desire of every serious child of GOD.
There is someone who is able and willing to preserve your life from failure due to
personal sins, and fulfill the desires of your heart to live a victorious life, bringing
liberty and freedom to you. This fact, fills your life with the 'JOY'
of the LORD!
"To HIM..."
Think of it, rather, think of HIM. Jude
says; "To HIM". These two words
explain to you who it is that is responsible for keeping you, and keeping you from falling
into sin. "To HIM"!!!! You
can never give HIM enough praise for HIS
Greatness, Majesty and Glory.
"who is able to keep you..........."
All the effort and determination you can muster will never be enough to keep
you from falling as you just do not have this power within yourself. Some days you have
great victories, other days you falter no matter how your mind is made up to do and be
right before the LORD. Only JESUS
can give you daily victory over sin, because it is "HE
who is able to keep you..."
"..keep you from falling" It
is so remarkable to understand that JESUS wants to
keep you from falling into sin. JESUS is not in
Heaven just waiting for you to blow it, no, HE is
actively helping you to live in victory over sin if you will just let HIM
each day.
Let me share with you
the story of a man who falling off a cliff caught a single branch on the side of the
cliff, temporarily breaking his fall.
In extreme desperation, he
called out; 'Hello, is there anybody who can hear me and help me?!"
JESUS
shouts out to him; "Yes, I can catch you."
"Who are you?", the man calls out.
"It is JESUS,
let ME catch you', says the LORD.
The man is excited and yells; "Yes, LORD,
I knew I could count on you, what do you want me to do?"
JESUS
said to the man; "Just let go and I will catch
you."
The desperate man yells;
"Is
there anyone else who can help me?!" |
The
LORD is never far from you or uninvolved in your daily
life if you just allow HIM to be.
"To HIM who is able to keep you from
falling.." , brings you so much 'JOY' and praise
you cannot remain silent or passive. Open your heart today and invite HIM
to walk next to you and keep you from falling. Today and everyday, live your life in
the 'JOY' of the LORD! |
