“Able to keep you from falling.” — Jude 24
In some sense the path to heaven is very safe, but in other respects there is no road so dangerous. It is beset with difficulties. One false step (and how easy it is to take that if grace be absent), and down we go. What a slippery path is that which some of us have to tread! How many times have we to exclaim with the Psalmist, “My feet were almost gone, my steps had well nigh slipped.” If we were strong, sure-footed mountaineers, this would not matter so much; but in ourselves, how weak we are! In the best roads we soon falter, in the smoothest paths we quickly stumble. These feeble knees of ours can scarcely support our tottering weight. A straw may throw us, and a pebble can wound us; we are mere children tremblingly taking our first steps in the walk of faith, our heavenly Father holds us by the arms or we should soon be down. Oh, if we are kept from…
falling, how must we bless the patient power which watches over us day
by day! Think, how prone we are to sin, how apt to choose danger, how
strong our tendency to cast ourselves down, and these reflections will
make us sing more sweetly than we have ever done, “Glory be to Him,
who is able to keep us from falling.” We have many foes who try to push
us down. The road is rough and we are weak, but in addition to this,
enemies lurk in ambush, who rush out when we least expect them, and
labour to trip us up, or hurl us down the nearest precipice. Only an
Almighty arm can preserve us from these unseen foes, who are seeking to
destroy us. Such an arm is engaged for our defence. He is faithful that hath
promised, and He is able to keep us from falling, so that with a deep sense
of our utter weakness, we may cherish a firm belief in our perfect safety,
and say, with joyful confidence,
“Against me earth and hell combine, But on my side is power divine; Jesus is all, and He is mine!”
