POWERFUL SUSTAINER
"He is before all things, and in him all things hold together" Colossians1:17.
The first words in the Bible are "In the beginning God." While we might not understand all the intricate details and secrets of life, we can hold on to this: God set the universe in motion and sustains it.
Are you going through a difficult situation in your life right now? Are there circumstances you cannot understand? Instead of trying to fix it or control it, rathher tan trying to figure out the what, when, where and why of your struggle, FOCUS INSTEAD ON GOD YOUR SUSTAINER. JESUS, the friend who knows and cares for your every need, is also the Lord who directs the events of your life moment by moment-in love- to MAKE YOU MORE LIKE HIM.
The word to take with you for the day was: SUSTAINER.
