Reading God’s Word: Jude

Advent Reading:  Luke 1:26-38

Meditating on God’s Word: Jude 24-25 To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, throughJesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

Praying God’s Word: “Thank you, Lord, for this prayer in Jude today! And the reminder that you are working to present us before your glorious presence, holy, without fault, and full of joy. We pray for ourselves, our loved ones, our Church, our pastors, oh God, keep us from stumbling. Don’t let us settle for the treasures of this world, but for a treasure so much greater! May we live for this end above all else: the glory, majesty, power and authority of your name, now and forevermore! Amen.”
