Knowing God - He Keeps You from Falling



Jude 24
 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling,…

The Lord is able to keep us from falling/stumbling.  The word ‘keep’ here is a military term.  It means; ‘to guard, to watch’.  The Lord is watching over us and seeking to assist us in avoiding falling into sin or being deceived into choices that will destroy us and the relationships we are in.  The Lord does not give us commands and then sit back and watch whether we will obey. He comes alongside us and helps us walk in obedience showing us the way of escape.  So many times we try in our own strength to overcome destructive patterns without depending upon His grace and power to deliver us.  We must remember that it is God who is able to keep us from stumbling.  He is guarding us and protecting us.  When an opportunity comes to stumble, the Lord is there not allowing us to be tempted above the ability He has given us.  Don’t believe your adversary.  Don’t do it on your own.  He is able to guard us and keep us from stumbling.
