For Wednesday, September 2, 2020.
Colossians 1:17 NLT: “Jesus existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.”
Has it felt lately like our world is falling apart? In the US, violent crime and murder are trending upward. Major countries are feuding with other major countries. It seems the Middle East war will never end. Mankind, seeking to run the show, has made a royal mess of things.
More Jesus is the solution. Present at the creation, he knows the design parameters for mankind and for Planet Earth. And it’s his influence that holds our world together. I pray that he’ll stay one step ahead of erring mankind and hold us together!
Sometimes I imagine what the world would be like if everyone believed in Jesus and would live out his directives. There would be no conflicts in the world, because everybody would be on the same page, pulling in the same direction. We’d actually know world peace!
The current state of the world should come as no surprise, since Jesus said there will be wars and rumors of wars until he returns. But then we’ll know the peace that passes all understanding! Jesus IS returning, and that gives us hope!
Blessings and Peace to you today!
