Jude 1:25 “To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.”
As I grew up, we sang the Doxology, a song praising God. Maybe you did as well, and you recall these words:
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
It was usually sung at our church after the offering plates had been passed and were returned to the front of the church. The Doxology was a great reminder to praise God for His provision and blessings we enjoyed.
Jude concludes his letter with a doxology giving praise to God for WHO HE IS and reminds us to keep our minds set on who God is in our lives this and every day! HE IS… our provider and protector and the only one WORTHY of all our praise.
May I suggest adding Jude 1:25 to the conclusion of your prayer time? Each phrase is filled with expressive language describing who our God is. He is our SAVIOR and what a SAVIOR He is as He saved us from our sins. He is alone WISE and provides the wisdom and guidance we need.
Having praised Him for WHO HE IS and WHAT HE DOES we now proclaim what He deserves to receive. In saying “Be glory” speaks of His excellence. There is no one higher. In saying “Be majesty” speaks of His authority. There is no one to challenge Him. To say, “Be Dominion” speaks of His right to rule. He created all things, and all things are to be subject to Him. To say “Be power” speaks of His might. As you conclude you acknowledge this is PRESENT and in the FUTURE with the words “both now and forever”
Isaiah 26:3 says God will keep a person “in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Him.” Your mind and heart will be filled with peace after praying Jude 1:25.
Continue Strong filling your mind with WHO GOD IS,
And Remember to Date the Word
