August 17, 2023 – What God Created, He Sustains
Colossians 1:16-17
Sermon: 1625 A New World Order, Part 2
Pray Over This
“For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.”
Colossians 1:16-17
Ponder This
Whether it be the planets in orbit or the electrons whirling around the nucleus of an atom, Jesus Christ is the glue of the galaxies. The Bible says, He upholds “all things by the word of His power” (Hebrews 1:3). “He spoke,” the Bible says, “and it was done” (Psalm 33:9). If you were to look at my pulpit, the atoms are raised in such a way that you can see and touch and feel them, or you seem to feel them. But actually, the pulpit stand is primarily energy. It is made out of invisible entities. In Hebrews 11:3, the Bible says, “The things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” Isn’t it incredible how the Bible said all this long before Einstein?
The things that are seen are made out of things that do not appear. We see how that relates to the atoms that make up the things we see but here is the bottom line—what holds it all together is Jesus. He spoke and it was done! By Him, all things exist.
- How does it encourage you to know Jesus is the One who holds all things together?
- Who do you know who feels like things are falling apart? How can you encourage them with today’s truth?
Practice This
Consider any areas of your life in which you don’t include Jesus. Ask God to help you remember that He holds all things together.
