Jude.

I have no idea why, but when I opened my bible this morning I was drawn toward the book of Jude. The whole book is only 25 verses long so I took some time to read about the book.

Jude was written to believers who, for one reason or another, were living among false prophets. The writer of Jude wanted to warn them. He closes the book by charging them to persevere in the faith.

So often I feel that I fit in this category:
"These men are fumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires, they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage." (16).
As hard as it is to admit, I fall into world desires more often than I would like.
However, the writer gives a reminder:
"...build yourselves up in your most hold faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. KEEP YOURSELVES IN GOD'S LOVE...".

I pray that as I go through these next few months, few days, few hours, that I can keep my heart and mind in God's love. Remembering that He is the only one that can keep me from falling. He is the only one who can present me before God without fault. He is my GREAT JOY.
