To him who is able to
keep you from falling
Phil Ware
“To him who is able to keep you from falling and to
present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy — to
the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus
Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.” — Jude 1:24-25
Our eyes are first drawn to what God can do for us —
prevent us from falling and present us before his glorious presence in joyful
perfection.
But on closer inspection, our hearts are drawn to the
description of our incredible God: the one who is able, the only God, our
Savior, the one who lives in glory and majesty and power and authority, the one
who has communicated to us through Jesus our Lord, and the one who exists
before all ages and who is alive now and who will be forevermore.
Our blessings as God's children are incredible, but
the reason why they are is that our God is beyond incredible, awesome, and
wonderful.
Our words cannot do him justice. Our brightest
insights cannot comprehend the glory he has.
Yet despite his grandeur, he loves you and me in our
finite mortality!
My Prayer...
Awesome and Holy Lord Most High,
thank you for not only being God, but for loving me and showing yourself to me
in the face of Jesus.
I look forward to standing in your
presence, enjoying your shared perfection, and praising your glory with the
angels.
Please accept my limited and human praise
until the day my words are unchained from their mortality and my imperfections
are swallowed up in your glory.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
