Day Ten: God’s Keeping Power
To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— Jude 24
Sometimes it is good for us in prayer to simply meditate on a great truth from Scripture and thank God. Marriage has many terrific seasons. Sometimes those terrific seasons are borne out of seasons of trial and difficulty. It is encouraging to know that God is able to keep us from stumbling and to present us before himself without fault and with great joy. This is where God is taking you. Your marriage is a means that God is using to make you more like His Son and He will accomplish His purposes. So, let us take heart and have confidence in God’s keeping power. Today, no matter if you are on the mountain or in a valley God is at work. Let today be simply a day of adoration. Thank God for his keeping power.
Lord, if it were not for your keeping power we could not stand. Our marriage would only be a means to further our joy in ourselves. Even good gifts, like marriage, would be used to rob you of glory and ultimately to destroy us. But you have purposed something greater. You have purposed to make our marriages further our joy in Christ. We know that as we grow in Christ our joy in one another will also deepen. So we thank you today for your keeping power. Thank you for holding us up and keeping us from stumbling headlong into hell. We look to our ultimate rescue in Jesus. Amen.
