Colossians is a very informative book. Originally, it was a letter written by Paul and Timothy to believers in a small city. Chapter One tells us that Jesus made everything we see (and plenty we don’t see!). The universe was brought into being by Him.

 

That’s kind of a comforting thought! This great source of Love also made it all and He sustains it all.

 

Colossians 1:17 says, “He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”

 

Many people, maybe rightly so, worry about the planet. Certainly, there are lots of issues that are problematic.

 

But what if we focused on the fact that everything Jesus has told us is 100 percent true? That would mean that He sustains our beautiful planet, so designed for human life to thrive.

 

It also means He sees into your heart and mind and knows just what you need.

 

He holds you together.

 

Let’s pray. 

 

Lord, your sustaining work keeps evil at bay in our world. We are grateful for your promises for the future. Amen.
