John 1:1-5 (NIV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made
that has been made.
4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men.
5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not
understood it.
Colossians
1:15-17 (NIV)
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all
creation.
16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on
earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or
authorities; all things were created by him and for him.
17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
Go take a good look in the mirror> What
do you see? Do you see a work of art that surpasses the Mona Lisa? Do you see
a design that surpasses any design team ever put together? Do you see the
second wonder of the world?
If you don't see this then you need to have
your eyes checked. You are the product of the omnipotent Sovereign God who
carefully crafted your body to be just so. When you woke up this morning you
had all one hundred trillion cells agree with each other that they would move
in symphony together so you could get out of bed.
Well maybe some of them struck a minor
chord, but nonetheless your body got out of bed and made its way to work or
whatever else you decided to do. What you pulled off this morning was nothing
short of miraculous. Tell me anyone else who can get even one million
individuals to agree to work together to accomplish a task.
So how is it that your body accomplished
this task this morning? Did you give every one of your cells a pep talk about
cooperation? Did you teach them the power of positive thinking so that they
would agree to work together? How is it that each one of your specific
individually active cells paid attention so that your body actually got out
of bed?
The Sovereign Creator who put your body
together in your mother's womb directed each and every cell to work together
so you would get out of bed. He was present at the cellular level in your
body causing all cells to work together for your good.
Paul says it this way, "He is before
all things and in him all things hold together."
Think of it God is intricately involved in
your life keeping your cells together, working for your good even now. He
knows how to put things together and how to keep things together so why not
take a moment and trust him to hold your life together right now. You may be
on the edge of giving up because you do not see how you can hold your life
together one more moment. Take a moment and give your life into the hands of
your Creator. Tell him you need him to take over once more.
Perhaps God has allowed you to take charge
of your life and now you see that you can no longer do that. That is as it
should be he has designed your life so that it works best when He is in
charge, not you. So cast your cares on him once more and see what he will do
with them.
Trusting My Creator to hold me together,
Pastor Phil
