Day Thirty-Nine

Jude 20-21

But you, my dear friends, must build yourselves up on the foundation of your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves within the love of God and wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to give you eternal life. 

Reflection

We are to live "within the love of God" and wait for the mercy of Jesus to give us eternal life. We have a task: build ourselves up on the foundation of our most holy faith. One of the ways of doing this is "praying in the Holy Spirit." For those who have attended charismatic prayer meetings, the gift of tongues may come to mind. This is a way of praying in the Holy Spirit, in an unknown language.

We also have the duty to keep ourselves in God's love by avoiding sin and growing closer to the Lord and loving one another. We are to wait patienty for the Lord's coming, yet we are also to desire it earnestly: "Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus!" 

Prayer

Keep me within your love, O Lord, at all times and in every situation. May I never willingly remove myself from a loving union with you by committing serious sin. If I ever do fall, may I quickly repent and return to your loving embrace. 

Amen.
