Be encouraged, you are not the only one who feels like everything around you is out of control and flying apart. Were it not for the Gospel; I would believe the fear mongers, prognosticators and talking heads of the world’s media. Their case is so compelling to those whose ears are tuned to their opinions. That’s just it; don’t tune your heart to the lies of the world’s culture! Why? Love for the world squeezes out Fathers love!
Listen only to the truth as it is in Jesus!
Colossians 1:16 Everything that is begins in Him; whether in the heavenly realm or upon the earth, visible or invisible; every order of justice and every level of authority, be it kingdoms or governments, principalities or jurisdictions; all things were created by Him and for Him. Msg.
This is spiritual gravity! Nothing is out of or beyond the control of Jesus! Everything and I do mean everything is held together by Him! Nothing; no matter how you feel or perceive it to be is outside of the realm of His purpose and Glory.
Colossians 1:19 “So spacious is he, so roomy, that everything of God finds its proper place in him without crowding.” Msg.
1:20 “Not only that, but all the broken and dislocated pieces of the universe-people and things, animals and atoms-get properly fixed and fit together in vibrant harmonies, all because of his death.” Msg.
All that seems dislocated and crazy is put together and in its proper place and sequence because of His death and resurrection! That is so reassuring. It matters not what the so-called extremists and radical fundamentalists of this world proclaim. They are completely and utterly subjected to Him and His eternal purpose and will-for all ages...now and the ages to come! Listen deeply in your heart only to Jesus!
Colossians 3:11 “From now on everyone is defined by Christ, everyone is included in Christ.” Msg. And that is the final word!
Resting and at peace in spiritual gravity, Ron Ross
