He existed before anything else, and He holds all creation together. Colossians 1:17 NLT

 When I look back over time, I see the world we live in filling with business, pressure to perform, and a complexity of demands that truly no one can live up to. Between family, friends, work, spouse, home, projects, and any extra curricular activities, each demands your time and when something gets off balance, your world seems to spin out of control. I’ve been there on many occasions and wonder how I will get it all back in order.

 The bad news is, you won’t. When life spins out of control, no matter how much effort you put into resolving the issues, repairing damaged relationships, making up for something you sacrificed…..it is truly beyond your capability to make it get in sync with your life. So, how can you recover from the messes life brings you?

 Today’s verse reminds us that God is always in control. Even in our chaos, He holds the future of everything in His hands, including your fast paced life. When you rely on Him to help keep it together, He provides you resources (that you don’t possess on your own) to help you navigate those difficult moments that have you filled with anxiety, fear, and tears. He will interject little miracles, that when you begin to look in His direction, you’ll see His hand working to bring healing, order, and even spare moments to thank Him for what He did on your behalf. 

Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass. 1 Thessalonians 5:24

 This is my favorite part about this subject, God has a plan and purpose for this moment of chaos to draw you closer to Him, strengthen your faith and build confidence when the next crises surfaces. Trust me when I say, “God has you in His hands, He is in control of all things! You just need to get onboard with that knowledge and work with Him as you live out each day for His glory.
