Colossians 1.17 (NIV)
In him all things hold
together.

| Every aspect of God’s being transcends our knowledge, our experience, and our comprehension.* |

When my high-school chemistry teacher told us that
everything was made up of molecules and atoms and that they were constantly
bouncing around, I lost my ability to trust anything else he said. I remember sitting there staring at his desk,
looking for any sign of movement. If he had explained that, although those tiny
particles were bouncing about, God’s power kept them together, he could have earned
some credibility. If he had gone on to say that if God removed his power, the
universe would explode, I might have come out of his class with better than a D-minus average!
That power that’s holding all of creation together,
keeping the planets from crashing into each other, and maintaining gravity on
earth – that is the power that keeps my life together. If God withheld his
presence, my life would fall apart. Implode. Run amok. Jesus is that power – contained and
controlled and at my disposal.

| This world doesn’t always make sense, especially if we believe God is in control. The good news is we don’t have to act like we have it all figured out.* |
