“…all things have been created through him and for him. He
is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.”
From this passage, this was one section that held my
attention. It was wonderful to read this passage and dwell on the power and
authority of our Savior. All things were created for Him. Everything. Thinking
through everything I encounter just in a day in terms of being created by Him
and for Him alone is an amazing thought! From the person who is hard to love
some days, to the creation around us, it all was created for Him, just like I
am! It truly puts life into perspective and simplifies! Not only was everything
created for Him, but He holds it all together. The little worries I deal with to
the larger issues in life, He holds it together according to His will and
desire, because I was created for Him. His authority is incomprehensible, but
meditating on it makes us unable to do anything but worship Him.
This passage can be somewhat common, but I’d encourage you
to re-read it a few times. Think about areas in your life that it would be
beneficial to remember that He holds it all together and that all things were
created for Him. From a difficult or fearful situation, the loss of a job, or a
difficult person in life, these verses easily put our thoughts back into
perspective of why we are here!
Pray…
About these areas in life. Ask Him to remind you of His
authority and control. Pray that He will “fill you with the knowledge of His
will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that
you may live a life worthy of the Lord…”
