Colossians 1:17 ” He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.”

This simple verse emphases the preeminence of Christ, indicating that He existed before all creation, (John 1:2 “He was with God in the beginning.”) and that all things are sustained through Him. To that, our very life and breath continue to exist and are maintained as He holds us together minute by minute. For Jesus is eternal, just as God is eternal…and through Him and for Him all things were created by Him. So, if today life seems incomprehensible and out of control…ask the Lord to hold you together.
