HOLDING IT ALL TOGETHER

Colossians 1:17 (Nlt)
for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. 
He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see .…
Everything was created through him and for him. 
He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. 

Jesus Christ holds all the atoms of the universe together. When you think of the vastness of space and the complexities of our own planet, we’re given a glimpse of how amazing that is! Even when mankind has released atom bombs they have never shaken the earth from its orbit because Jesus is holding it together. 

What I find so wonderful though, and so reassuring, is that He holds us together as well. Whatever tries to shake our personal world, as we turn to Him, He holds us steady.

Some people give you the impression they think they’re the ones having to hold their lives together by their own efforts but God never intended for us to take on that responsibility because we can’t do it. He gave it to Jesus to hold our world, our lives, together.

If we’ve been trying to do it on our own, let’s invite Him afresh today to take control of every area of our lives, to hold us together, so we know we’ll never need to feel like we’re falling apart at the seams or having a nervous breakdown because He is the One holding us steady.🙂 

God intends for us to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might so we can overcome whatever life throws at us and know we can do all things through Christ, who not only strengthens us, but also holds us together.

Our lives are built on the solid rock of Jesus and He will never be shaken and He will make sure we’re not shaken either, even though the world around us will be. So if you’ve been getting distressed maybe it would help to keep reminding yourself throughout the day “Jesus is holding me steady. He won’t let me be shaken.” What a wonderful Saviour we have in Jesus. Thank You Lord.

Psalm 62:2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken.
