Jude 24 & 25 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, To God our Savior be glory and majesty, dominion and power both now and forever. Amen
Beloved, our God is ABLE! As we all face a New Year, let's give ourselves a new start! Our Father does every day! His mercies are new every morning. He wants to come right now and wipe your slate clean. HE IS ABLE! Start the year off by simply repenting. Acknowledge your sins, and receive forgiveness. Then, thank the Lord, "God our Savior", for new grace to keep you from stumbling! HE IS ABLE!
Think about this...when you feel the worst about yourself, that is exactly when the Lord is saying, "Hey, look at me, I have the ability, the power, AND the willingness to carry you!" Jesus wants to pick you up and to present you without fault before His Father. HE IS ABLE!
None of us knows what lies ahead this year. However, we will be like the ostrich with his head in the sand if we think life will be a cake walk. No, times are intensifying, lines are being drawn. Whom will you serve is the question every moment. Choose Jesus. Let Him use His ability to keep you from stumbling and to bring you into glorious times in His presence. Then give Him ALL the glory and praise, for He is worthy! YOU ARE ABLE to worship Him!
Now, in Jesus' name I release hope into you this year and confidence in Father God's loving ability to do what He has said He will do!
