"To HIM who is able to keep you from falling.."  What an incredible concept and the desire of every serious child of GOD.  The idea that there is someone who is able and willing to preserve your life from failure due to your sin, as well as fulfill the desires of your heart to live a victorious life brings liberty and freedom to you.  This truth, 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.  It is true 'JOY' to know HIM and praise HIM every day, all day long.

"who is able to keep you..........."   Don't forget that all the effort and determination you can muster will never be able to keep you from falling, you just do not have this power in yourself for everyone is a  sinner saved by grace and you have to daily resist the 'old nature' 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 us..."   Your 'JOY' is rising in your now!

"..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.   

Here is a  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 my son."  The desperate man yells; "Is there anyone else who can help me?!" 

It can be so difficult to put all of your trust in the LORD and HIS plan to keep you from falling into sin.  You have often been taught that HE is unapproachable and uninvolved in your daily life, after all, who are you to merit such wonderful attention?  You are often afraid of trusting the One who trusts you.  Your 'JOY' meter is rising even higher now!

The LORD is never far from you or uninvolved in your daily life if you just let HIM.  "To HIM who is able to keep you from falling.." , brings you so much 'JOY' and praise you cannot remain silent or passive.  

Lift up your voice today and speak forth HIS praises, experiencing  the 'JOY' of the LORD.  Open your heart today and invite HIM to walk next to you and keep you from falling.  Great 'JOY' is yours today and every day when you walk in faith and trust with the LORD of your life.  

  LORD, Catch Me!
