Scripture Reading: Colossians 1:15-18
And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. (Colossians 1:17)
All things consist in Christ. Not only were all things made through Him; in addition, all things consist in Him. That means He holds all things together. He holds all things in their proper place.
The physicists will say that gravity holds all things together. We can pardon their limited understanding but we know the One who caused gravity to be. He keeps gravity constant – His name is Jesus Christ. By Him all things are kept it place.
We trust that our earth will not spin out of orbit because of He who holds it all together. If He can hold the universe in place, He can hold your life together.
According to scientists, our earth moves on its own axis at a speed of 1700 km per hour and around the sun at 107,000 km per hour. Just thinking of it is mind blowing; and yet we feel at rest. We do not wobble.
If He can keep the earth rotating and revolving at those frenetic speeds without wobbling, He can keep you at high speeds of success and achievement without wobbling. God is able to keep you no matter how high He lifts you.
He is the holder of our existence. In Him all the pieces come together. He is able to keep us from falling apart. He is able to help us keep our sanity. He is able to help us keep our lives in order. Trust Him today to keep you in Himself. You will not fall apart. You will not disintegrate.
He is the holder of our future. In Him we have hope for a new tomorrow. Even when the whole world seems to be falling apart, we know He holds the future. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. That is why we can look at a year such as this one and still be excited about the future that He has planned for us.
Thank God for Jesus; He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for Christ Jesus; the Holder of my future days to come. I am fully assured that my life is in good hands. In Jesus’ name. Amen!
