He Holds ALL Things Together

It's so easy to believe lies when your mind is not at peace.

It's so easy to be afraid when you're not finding your rest in God alone.

It's so easy to worry when you're not trusting God.

It's so easy to let other things take precedence over Jesus when you're in a state of being overwhelmed and you just want an outlet...but that outlet brings more overwhelming-ness and no peace to the soul.

Then you beat yourself up because you know the Source of peace, and you won't have peace until you plug into the Source. And the longer you resist, the harder it is to make the choice and do it. And when you finally do, and you tell God all your secrets and the struggles, pains, and fears you're going through, and you're completely honest with Him and you remember who He is...the fear seems a bit smaller, your trust in Him gets a little bigger and you realize that all along all you had to do is stop and just let God have it.

Fill Him in, even though He already knows, because sometimes telling God about your life somehow reminds you of how BIG He really is. That He is gotten you through so much before...and He can do it again. That in Him, He holds all things together (Colossians 1:17).

Your past, present, future...He's holding it. Together.

He sees. He knows. He cares.

Because you're HIS.

This God, who keeps the earth spinning and calls each star by name and knows the number of hairs on your head...He's the same God who sees you when you feel like life is falling apart. He's the same God who catches all your tears in a bottle. He's the same God who cares about the details of your life.

And this God...mighty, holy, awesome, majestic, just and righteous God...He knows your name. He thinks precious thoughts toward you that out number the grains of sand. He delights over you. He sings over you He dances over you.

This God...He holds all things together.

He holds YOU together.

You might be shaken to the core...but this God keeps you alive. You might be struck down, but you are not destroyed. This God fights with you and for you and He holds your right hand.

He sees your every move.

You are KNOWN BY HIM.

And He loves you for who you are. And because He loves you for who you are and because He has a plan for you that is GOOD and full of HOPE and a FUTURE...and because you are HIS-because of these things-HE HOLDS ALL THINGS TOGETHER. Thread by thread. piece by piece...however broken they may be. He keeps you together, creating a glorious masterpiece, intricate with detail, to put on display for all the world to see: that HE IS GOOD. He is faithful. that IN HIM, ALL THINGS HOLD TOGETHER.
