“He is able – even when you can’t”

Jude 24, 25 Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of this glory with exceeding joy. To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty.

Verse Reflections:  God is able to keep us from falling.  Hallelujah!  God has the power that can save us from the temptations that have haunted us for years.  Eating the wrong foods destroys our bodies.  Every ten pounds of weight creates 40 pounds of pressure on our knees.  It wrecks our joints.  We become resistant to insulin which allows us to process /absorb our foods for energy.  We develop diabetes which leads to blindness, severe circulation issues and the list goes on.  This is not about twenty pounds.  This is not about 100 pounds.  This is about your health.  We have to depend on God because we can’t depend on ourselves. Our wise God created foods that are healthy and preserve our body’s health.  Why do we ever pick up the crazy foods that do not have enough nutritional value to keep a fish alive?  When we depend on God, treasuring this magical body he created we become faultless through His power.  When we die, we can stand joyfully in front of our God because Jesus Christ himself has delivered us from our sin.  Jesus has called us to depend on Him, to accept His grace, to accept His power.  Yes, we will be saved from the depth of hell but we will also be saved from an unhealthy life.  We are absolutely ridiculous when we feel bad because we ate too much junk, or we can’t go on a walk because our knees hurt, or we refuse to put on an outfit or go to an event because we don’t feel confident.  Every time we choose these results we are slapping God in the face.  He has the power for us to change our lives today.  Tomorrow will not work.  Do not tell yourself you will start tomorrow.  It will not happen.  Today is the only day that will ever change your life.  Begin today.  NOW… is able to keep you from falling.  Put it down, do not order it.  God has given you healthy foods.  Eat and eat and eat HIS foods.  You do not have to be deprived.  Imagine delicious seasonings on your favorite meat and vegetables.  Then grab a bowl of fruit or prepare a fruit smoothie that tastes like ice cream.
