Ecclesiastes 3:11

THE 31st OF DECEMBER
OUR LORD DESERVES ALL THE GLORY FOR ALL HE HAS DONE AND DOES FOR US
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. – Jude 1:24-25
To truly live the abundant life that Jesus provided for us at the cross, we must choose to be joyful. You might say that we have much more reason to be upset, frustrated and unhappy. That is true if we just focus on the natural. We need to choose to not allow circumstances to dictate how we feel, knowing that no matter how bad it looks in the natural, we are victorious in Jesus. The Lord already won the war for us in the spiritual, at the cross. God is faithful and He can help us live right for Him so that we may rejoice when we present ourselves at His throne in heaven.
The only salvation is through Jesus Christ, the Son of God. No matter how upset or hurt we are, we can start to feel better and rejoice if we choose to recognize that our Lord is the only one who has true wisdom, majesty, dominion, and power. We can give the Lord all the glory for being more than able to protect and take care of us.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Thank You Father God for helping and protecting me around the clock. Please help me never forget that Jesus set me free from the power of sin and I can choose to praise You no matter what. Lord, please help me allow the fruit of the Holy Spirit to manifest more in me, overcoming the hurt and negative emotions of my carnal nature. Glory and majesty, dominion and power be unto You my Lord forever. Amen.
