Jude 24 Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling,
and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding
joy...
Besides this being a great doxology, this
verse is so very practical and promising. I don't know about you, but I
find myself stumbling through life a great deal. In those times I
generally feel like I don't have a clue where I am going or what I am doing.
I feel like there is no hope for me, since I do this far too often.
BUT God is not only able to keep me from stumbling, He is willing and
ready to.
The good news doesn't stop there though.
He doesn't just set us on solid footing, but presents us faultless before
His glory. We can only be presented faultless if we have a saving
relationship with Jesus Christ. God took care of that by providing His Son as
the propitiation for our sins. We can't do anything on our own. The
sooner we realize we need to rely on Jesus, the sooner we will lessen our
stumbling. And let's not forget the final words of this section of
Scripture....with exceeding joy.
There is no greater joy than to believe
and understand we are not on this journey through life on our own. We
have One who walks with us, picking us up when we stumble. Don't decide
to go it alone.
He is waiting for you to take His hand.
