Keep it Together!

"He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.  He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything." -Colossians 1:17-18 (NASB)

Whether at the beginning of the year or other times in our lives, we may search for direction for our lives.  The world has many offers that promise to give our lives purpose and direction, to help us keep it all together.  Each of these offers has something special that will help us feel fulfilled and function at our personal best.  But can anything offered by the world really fulfill our needs and keep our lives from unraveling?

There is only one whose promise will keep us together and fill our lives with purpose.  Jesus Christ offers us salvation that can redeem us.  If we keep Him before all things, He can hold our lives together.  He has been there since the beginning and He will be there at the end.  He can fill us with direction and purpose.  He can guide our lives through the best of times and the worst of times.  If we follow His plan, He will help us keep it all together and help us to join Him in His everlasting glory!

Follow Jesus and allow Him to give you purpose and help you keep it all together!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for sending Your Son to save me from my sin.  Help me to always follow Your will for my life and help me to hold it together and to follow Your purpose for my life.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
