Today God says:
"I am able to keep you from falling".
He promises me:
"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 Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and for ever. Amen". (Jude 24,25)
My response to the word:
God will keep me from falling, and He will present me faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. He is the only wise God, and He is my Saviour. God will never allow anything to come to me that He and I cannot handle together. His Word declares, "There is no temptation come to you that is not common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able to stand; but with the temptation also make a way of escape, that you may be able to bear it".
My prayer:
Father, thank you for your promise to see me through every temptation and difficulty. I know you will be with me throughout this day.
Today's scriptures:
"Glory belongs to God, whose power is at work in us. By this power He can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine". (Eph. 3:20 GW) "Blessed are those who endure when they are tested. When they pass the test, they will receive the crown of life that God promises to those who love Him". (James 1:12 GW)
Quote for today:
Thank God you don't have to be flawless to be blessed! (A W Tozer)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".

On 26th October 1818, Elizabeth Payson Prentiss, school teacher and poet, was born in Portland, Maine. Many of her poems have become hymns. After some years of school teaching, she married a Congregational minister in 1845. One of her poems has become the hymn "More Love to Thee," which was written out of a broken heart upon losing a child. The original poem was not finished (the last line was pencilled in) and it was originally printed as a leaflet. William H. Doane composed the music.
