Colossians 1:17

It sometimes find it difficult to really sit down and write on the passage from the Word until i really feel like it is from the Lord. That and life just gets so busy it escapes us how the time gets away. But all is good as we approach the spring and get ready for yard work once again. I hope you are doing well and have a good week.

He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. 
Colossians 1:17

The sense that all things flow in a certain pace for a reason is based on the truth that God holds all things together. We watch the entire earth go through cycles which are thought out and planned by our Lord to sustain life. He created all things for a purpose in His plan and created everything. Mankind was created and put into the world to enjoy all of the things the Lord has made. We live and breathe on this earth and take in all the Lord has put here. 

Life can at times seem like its spinning out of control, and that is because the whole earth is under a curse. During the fall of man, the earth was placed under a curse as well which keeps it on a course toward its own destruction. It is important to keep taking care of the things God has made while we also seek the hope of His return and redemption of the whole earth. 

Our lives are always in His hands just as the earth is. Just as he takes the water of the ocean and turns it into rain to refresh the earth, he takes everything in our life and keeps it in His control. He is the one who holds us together when we feel like without Him all we would do is fall apart. Without Him, we would.
