Joy in the Presence of God

Meditate.

Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault. Jude 1:24

The Word of the Lord is the key.
It is God's very presence in our lives.
Hide His word in your heart.
He is always with you.

Imagine being in the very presence of God. Actually, we are constantly in the presence of God. He has promised to always be with us—to never leave us or forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:6).  He will bring you with great joy into His glorious presence. God provides us with so many great promises—if we just look and listen. Here is another one. God is able to keep you from falling away. Consider that the falling is translated as “stumbling” in the King James Version and the Strong’s definition in the Blue Letter Bible and actually not falling is not sinning. What a great promise for us all. 

Prayer ~ Lord, thank you that You will keep me from stumbling. Holy Spirit--continue to guide my thoughts, words, and actions that I would not sin. May I continue to find joy in Your presence Lord. 

Verse of Salvation ~ Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence, and don't take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you. Psalm 51:10-12
