Part 2: All things are through Him and for Him

Pray these words:

Dear Jesus, I commit this time to you. I pray that I will grow deeper in faith and the knowledge of your word. In your name, Amen. 

Colossians 1:15-23 reads: 

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And 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, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.

Think About It:

Considering that “all things have been created through Him and for Him,” how should I approach living my daily life differently?

Pray these words:

Lord, I could never thank you enough for your blood that was shed on the cross. That through this I would see redemption. Thank you Jesus. In your name, Amen.
