“Now to the one who is able to keep you from falling, and to cause you to stand, rejoicing, without blemish before his glorious presence” Jude 24 NET). No blemish. No fault. No guilt. When we stand before the Lord, he will say, “Does anyone in the whole universe know any reason why this person should not enter heaven?” At that point there will be a loud silence as no one—not the angels or the demons, not the saints or the sinners—no one in all the universe will be able to bring any charge against God’s elect. We are very flawed now, but when we stand before the Lord, all our blemishes will be gone forever. Let that thought give strength to your heart today.

Most of the time we will never know the answer to the question “Why?” God never asks us to understand, but only to trust Him despite our doubts. Peace comes when we finally realize we don’t have to have all the answers. The edges of life will often be blurry, but the center is clear, and it points to the Cross.

Perhaps you are the first Christian in your family or the first one in several generations. Are you worried about whether your children will follow you? The best thing parents can do for their sons or daughters is to give them an example worth following.

God loves you too much to leave you the way you are. He is going to do whatever it takes to make you holy. That includes making us miserable when we sin so that we will hunger for something better.

In the end, it will not be what we know, but who we know that makes the difference. If we know Jesus, we will go to heaven. If we do not know Him, how we get there will make no difference because we won’t be making the trip.

“We have this hope as an anchor for the Soul, firm and secure” (Hebrews 6:19). In stormy weather, it’s not the size of the boat that matters. You need a strong anchor that will never move an inch, even when the wind howls and the waves pound the hull. Jesus is the true anchor for the soul. Rest in him. When the storms have passed, your anchor will still be holding fast.

God often uses temptation to force us to confront our own weakness. When we fall, we learn the hard way that God was right all along. But when we resist in Jesus' name, we grow stronger.

Lord God, save me from the folly of thinking that I need something besides You to be truly happy today. Amen.

God repeatedly puts us in hard circumstances so he can squeeze prayer out of us.

Have faith, child of God. Do not despair if you feel like you are alone. Trust in God and take the next step. If your current situation seems hard, remember that you are not home yet.
July 23, 2023
When it cannot do anything else, faith waits on the Lord. Oh, how hard that it for most of us! But waiting has its uses. It slows us down, it gives us time to think and pray, and it teaches us God is in charge, not us.

Give God time to work. He knows what he is doing even when we don’t have a clue.

Contentment does not mean passive acceptance of a bad situation. It is not the opposite of ambition. Contentment means that if I find myself in a hard place, I will thank God for the opportunity to trust him, I will use every legitimate means to improve the situation, but I will not fall into the trap of trying to take shortcuts in order to find an easy way out.
