Before ALL Things!




Colossians  1:15-17 
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities — all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. (ESVST)

We are not in control of this world.
The earth spins, not because we will it to.
Time does not stop when we cry out.
Events happen in life whether we wish them to or not.
We are born, and we die.

Are you asking why things are the way they are?
A common question, asked as we go through life.

Have you ever asked who or what holds this world together? 
This world would be destroyed and consumed if we were left to ourselves. 
Fortunately, the Lord holds this world together
That's right... The Lord.
He set the foundations of the earth. 
Take a moment and ponder the might and power of God, 
knowing that He holds all things in His hands.

It's helpful to keep all things in perspective, remembering our place in this world.
Today's Christian can have such hope and security, when we remember
that what we do is for the Lord, not ourselves.
You may work for your employer,
but I would challenge you to dedicate all you
do in your workplace, to the Lord. For His glory.
He holds you together. In the palm of His hand, He guides you.
There is nothing He cannot see. Nothing He cannot help with.
He created you. His arms are open wide waiting for you to come home.

Trust in Him for all things.
When it's hard...Give it to the Lord.
When life falls apart...Dedicate life to the Lord.
Change the way you think about life events.
Our goal every day should be to give God glory in all that we do.
With the Lord centered in all things,
you will experience true purpose and joy!

He is might and strength.
In Him are all good things!

Is your life without direction? Purpose?
Give it to the Lord today..
Trust Him.
He will make straight your path!
