He’s got you covered!
September 18, 2018
BIBLE MEDITATION:
And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist. Colossians 1:17
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
We sing about the Lord having the whole world in His hands. But do you know what’s more remarkable than that? He has the whole universe in His hands.
He’s the One who spoke it into existence. He’s the One who keeps it going. He’s the One who is going to fold it up like a garment and tuck it away in a drawer somewhere. He regulates it; He rules it and He runs it. By Him all things consist.
When you pick up the newspaper and read something alarming, you don’t need to panic. Instead, remember Who has it under His control. He who flung the stars in space has the whole universe in His hands!
ACTION POINT:
Take the hand of a child today and look at the stars twinkling in the night sky or a flower beginning to bloom. Then share with them about the awesome Creator and Sustainer of all.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
