Not by Chance but by God – EP51
Colossians 1:15-16
"The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him."
Hello welcome back to the One Thing Podcast. The word of the Lord says in Colossians 1, verse 15 "the Son is the image of the invisible God the firstborn over all creation for in Him all things were created things in heaven and on earth visible and invisible whether thrones our powers are rulers authorities all things have been created through Him and for Him."
This verse is so powerful for the Christian man or woman who believes and truly has faith in the Lord Jesus.
What is faith, what is the essence of faith?
It is knowing and believing that God is capable of doing all the things. He's able to do anything because He is God who is in control.
"His hands are big enough..."You see as Christians when we see each other or when we send our kids off to school or when we see our spouses goodbye to work we don't say "good luck." We don't say "hopefully you'll have a good day." We say "be blessed in the name of the Lord Jesus" and we believe. We believe that as we bless our family, we believe that as we bless one another, truly it is God who will guide in lead our days.
"His voice is loud enough..."You see for us we know that every rain drop that falls from the heavens is counted by God, every hair on our head God knows each and every strand. God in His wisdom is unfathomable, His knowledge is beyond the scope of what we can ever understand. And see faith knows this about God. Faith says "God you know it all, all things are in your hands. Father I will trust in you and I will look to you." The God who is before all things the Lord Jesus who was King in which all things were created for Him by Him in for Him.
Will you trust in the Lord today, will you put away the idea of luck, will you put away the idea of chance?...knowing that all things are in the hands of the Lord God Almighty.
"Faith says: God you know all things."This is our faith, knowing that we and those who trust and believe in the power of His name will be carried through. That the work that He began in you, the work that He began in me will be brought to completion. Knowing that as we begin in Christ we also continue in Christ and we will also one day bring an end this life in Christ and begin the new life with Him in the heavens above.
Will you trust in the Lord today? Will you put away all other thoughts or ideas? Will you simply look to His truth knowing that the Lord Jesus is King and trust in him. That His hands are big enough, that His voice is loud enough and that His ways are greater than all the ways of men.
Bless each person today, may you grasp the truth of the kingdom of God. May we seek His kingdom and all that we do. May we trust in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
