Good morning friends, I don't know how many of you actually read these, but I enjoy reading my Bible and writing. If you already get too many emails and don't want to receive my daily journals, just let me know, I would totally understand. Today's verse is all about the power of Jesus. Its absolutely amazing. Have a blessed day!
SCRIPTURE:
And he(Jesus) is before all things, and in him all things hold together. (Colossians 1:17)
OBSERVATION:
"...and in him all things hold together." This is the part I want to focus on. Of course this is speaking of Jesus. The apostle Paul is the person who wrote this letter to the church at Colosse. He is explaining to them that Jesus is God in the flesh and that he created all things. But here he says something amazing!
"...and in him all things hold together."
So... Not only did Jesus create all things, he is actively holding all things together by his power. In other words, if Jesus were to take his hand off of creation for one second, everything and everyone would just evaporate into millions of particles and no longer exist.
APPLICATION:
I remember an old song, "He's got the whole world in his hands". And that's really the truth. Because in Jesus, ALL things hold together! This should create in me an attitude of absolute trust. Jesus promises to be with us till the end of the age. And our Savior who died on the cross, was not just a great man or some created being, He is the creator of all things and He is "before all things". I am blown away by the power and awesomness of Jesus!
PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, there is none like you! I can't believe how great you are. My mind can't comprehend your power. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins, thank you for saving me. Prepare me for your return. In Jesus name, Amen!
