Come Close Again
Jude 1:24Now to him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy.
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of His glory with great joy—Jude's doxology for shaky people. Keeping is God's ability, not your flawless balance. Stumbling threats are real in love and loyalty; so is His guarding. Blameless presentation is the end of the story in glory, with joy—not gritted survival. When you feel one nudge from falling—into bitterness, compromise, or despair—look up to the Able One. Come to Him: ask Him to keep you. Stay near means of grace that steady feet. Trust His joy more than your anxiety about unfinished sanctification. Doxology is a fitting way to love God when self-trust has already failed you once today.
PrayerLord, You are able to keep me from stumbling and to present me with joy. I trust Your guarding love more than my footing. Amen.
