Hold It Together
New SeaDoo drivers at Shiloh. Congratulations on passing your boaters course!
An an old one who still enjoys the thrill.
A Bless Every Home prayer popped up in my inbox and had nibbling on the phrase
"You've go to hold it together." When have you said or received that phrase. This summer I think I've used it twice with grandchildren loosing it when needing to have a tick and a splinter removed. "Take a deep breath. You need to trust me, be still and hold it together while I help you."
Ha! I've also heard it when we have jerry rigged things together this summer. One of the funniest was my husband asking me for a safety pin. I said, "Why do you need it?" His childlike response, "I just do." "Okay, what are you up to?" I replied. The hem had come out and fabric split in one of the legs of his work pants in which he weed eats and mows. He knew it was a hazard, but didn't want to take time for me to hem them. Getting a new pair is out of the question, he loves these nasty paint and grease covered pants. A safety pin would hold them together!
Here is the prayer from Bless Every Home.
"Gracious Father, thank You that Christ is before all things and holds everything together with perfect love and wisdom. I pray that my neighbors discover how Christ alone can bring peace and order to their lives. Use me to reflect Your love and faithfulness, guiding them to trust in Him during every season. May they find rest in the knowledge that He holds all things together."
You know how one thing leads to another with Jesus and me, so I dug into Colossians 1:15-18 and praised the Lord for the reminder of who Christ is!
Christ is exactly like God, who cannot be seen. He is the first-born Son, superior to all creation. Everything was created by him, everything in heaven and on earth, everything seen and unseen, including all forces and powers, and all rulers and authorities. All things were created by God's Son, and everything was made for him.
God's Son was before all else, and by him everything is held together. He is the head of his body, which is the church. He is the very beginning, the first to be raised.
Very thankful for Jesus
