MONDAY JOY #7


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!
