How do you "keep" yourself in something? It requires action. It requires sacrifice. It requires choice. God tells us in Joshua 24. 15: If serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve.
We all have our favorite loves. I love my family, I love to go to the ocean. My husband loves his family and loves vintage cars. We love our church. The choice we make on a daily basis is to keep ourselves in God's love, keeping Him first in our lives. The verse above indicates that we all have a god. We all serve something everyday. As believers it is our responsibility , our choice, what or whom we serve. Think about what it is , or who it is, that you are placing above Christ in your life and decide, choose, to repent of that and ask God to help you, to show you how to "keep yourself in God's love."
"To Him who is able to keep you from falling 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, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! " Jude 24
Amen.
