To Him That Is Able...

A bit of everlasting cheer on a dreary Saturday morning in Ontario! 

Jude 1:24-25

"Now unto Him that is able

 to keep you from falling,

 and to present you faultless

 before the presence of His glory

 with exceeding joy,

 to the only wise God our Savior, 

be glory and majesty, 

dominion and power, 

both now and forever.

 Amen"

2 Timothy 1:12
For this reason, even though I suffer as I do,

 I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, 

and I am convinced that He is able to guard 

what I have entrusted to Him for that day.

To Him who is able, pray

In Him who is able, trust

Our God who is able, obey

Believing His way is just

For He is able to keep

That which we commit to Him

Though morrow seems dark and deep

And the veiled unknown seems grim 

To Him who is able, call 

In Him who is able, hope

He will not permit us to fall

But faithfully helps us cope 

On Him who is able, gaze

Unfazed by sight's acumen  

For God is able always

Forever and ever, amen

I came across the paragraph below, salvaged some time ago

from a message about the school of faith

by David Jeremiah...

"One of the sobering thoughts about the Christian life

is the truth that God is far more interested in who we become 

and what we are than in what we do. 

He cares a whole lot more about how we live

 than about what we accomplish.

 His purpose is to build Christians, not cathedrals. 

His focus is on people, not programs, 

and for this reason, when God is working in the life of a person,

 he often allows unexplainable events to prepare and perfect those

 that he is getting ready to serve him in a much bigger way in the kingdom. 

The New Testament says this: "Whom the Lord loves He chastens, 

and scourges every son whom He receives". 

Often when difficult things happen in our lives, 

it's not the evidence of something that is wrong, 

but proof that something is right." 

David Jeremiah~
