Last Thursday I actually carved out some time to sit and read the Bible. It was in the sanctuary of my green Kia Sportage in the parking lot of the Secondary School that doubles as my church on Sundays. I found, quite unintentionally the book of Jude. There I found one of my favorite verses,that always makes me feel less encumbered. I read the words that gave me great hope and took away my anxiety. 24 Now to Him who is able to keep you[f] from stumbling,
And to present you faultless
Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,
He is able to keep me from falling! I always get excited about that because I know how "accident" prone I am at times. To know that He is keeping me gave me a thrill and a great sense of peace. Out of it I wrote a song. Really, it is almost word for word from this verse. I had forgotten this promise and now I hear the song God gave me replaying in my mind. He who has called me is faithful. He will perfect me. He is able to complete that work in me. No stops or pauses. He is able to present me blameless before Him.
I praise YOU God
I've tried it on my own
And I've found
I can't make it alone
I'm tired of the times
That I have failed
And I've fallen in sin
But You oh Lord
Will keep me from stumbling
But You oh Lord
Will present me blameless
I praise you God
I praise you God
For you alone are wise
All glory and majesty
Belongs to You
Oh God
Lord your Dominion and Power
Reigns forever
Lord your Dominion and Power
Reigns forever
