For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and things on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers, or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him.
He is before all things and in Him all things hold together.
And He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood, shed on the cross." Colossians 1: 15-20
Holy cow! Our God is amazing! This week has been so busy for me (hence, not blogging). Also, this week has been draining. There have been times filled with most amazing blessings--like our first d-group meeting (YAY!), Disneyland with amazing people, and really good roomie talks. And there have been times where the world seemed to crumble...just a little bit. And then there's this passage. It reminds me of how great God is in times of joy and in times of sorrow. In times of pain and in times of pleasure. It reminds me that through all this "stuff" we call life, God goes before it and before us. He makes the way "right." And sometimes "making the way right" doesn't mean making it easy--it just means making it in perfect alignment with God's holy and flawless will.
Anyways, just my thoughts for this lovely Saturday. Wherever you are, wherever you're going, no matter how painful it is/may be...God has already gone before you and will continue to uphold you. Be encouraged. Be joyful. And don't forget to bask in the presence of God.
"The will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect you."
