"All Things Hold Together"
Colossians 1:17, “He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
If you woke up this morning and are reading this, first, give the Lord some praise for giving you another day…!
Second, remember that everyone who woke up this morning, woke up to their own set of circumstances, their own set of trials, and their own set of challenges in this life. So, if you are feeling lonely this morning about your situation, “don’t!” I repeat, “don’t!” There is somebody around the world going through something similar and, or even worse, and believe it or not, everyone has a situation that they are dealing with; whether it’s death, whether it’s sickness, whether it’s family, whether it’s relationships, whether it’s finances, whether it’s employment, whether it’s the streets, whether it’s court, or whether it’s the enemy. Every person that woke up this morning has to jump over some kind of hurdle.
However, don’t let your circumstances overwhelm you. Be encouraged because the scripture says in Colossians 1:17, that in him, (in Jesus), all things hold together. So, no matter what you may be going through in your life, no matter how separated your relationships may be, no matter how helpless you may feel, no matter how weak you may get, no matter how broke you may feel, no matter how sinful you were, no matter how tempted you are, and no matter how Satan is trying to destroy you, in Jesus Christ you have his strength, in Jesus Christ you have his forgiveness, in Jesus Christ you have his grace, in Jesus Christ you have an escape, in Jesus Christ you have eternity, in Jesus Christ you have his fullness, in Jesus Christ you have his image, in Jesus Christ you have his mind, in Jesus Christ you have his power, and in Jesus Christ you have the victory! In Jesus Christ you have every tool you need to carry out your assignment here on earth because Jesus is the glue, Jesus is the tape, Jesus is the staple, Jesus is the thread, Jesus is the latch, Jesus is the paper clip, Jesus is the Velcro, Jesus is the rope, Jesus is the nail, and Jesus is the laminin that holds all things together in the world and in your life. Just like the protein molecule laminin which is shaped like the cross and responsible for holding all the major components of the human body together, Jesus is the symbolical laminin that holds all of creation together until he returns again... Glory to God!
So, no matter what you may be going through in your life, remember what the Bible says.., that God is still with us, that God will never leave you nor forsake you, that God is pleased to make “you” his own, and that in Jesus Christ all things hold together.
Therefore, “let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:2). #Time4Truth
Thank you Jesus for holding all things together!!
