Today's Verse

VERSE:
  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 24-25
     

THOUGHT:
  Two things I trust implicitly: 1) God's power and might, and 2)
my joy at getting to share in his presence. My best efforts will
always fall short, but God's grace is greater and more glorious
than my best efforts! The faultlessness that I have when I stand
before him is based on his grace and mercy. How can I not praise
him from a thankful heart and anticipate seeing him face to face in
glory?

PRAYER:
  Father, you are gracious, you are glorious, and you alone are
God! I praise you for what you have done in my life through your
transforming Spirit. Please strengthen me and keep me in your care.
I am confident about my salvation because of your greatness and
grace. Fulfill your purposes in me and bring me to your throne of
glory with great joy. In Jesus' name. Amen.
