Praise the Lord for His mercy and grace. Here’s the theme for our lives; CHRIST IS SUPREME! He set before us the task of leading souls to Him. Are you doing your part? I’m Just asking; He knows for sure.

Today’s Prayer

Jesus, help us to see that the real problem is not what happens to us but rather how we react that makes the difference. Teach us, Oh Lord, to deal with the circumstances in our lives so that they will not be able to disturb our “inner peace and joy” in You. Help us to come to know You by studying Your Word and building a relationship with You. Remind us to put on Your armor* and to recognize our real enemy. Engrave in our hearts that You are greater than any evil that can attack us.** As long as we abide in You, You have promised to abide in us. Give us Your gift of faith and help us to remain steadfast. In Your holy name we pray, Amen.

Let’s eat.

Christ Is Supreme

Colossians 1:15-23

15 Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before God made anything at all and is supreme over all creation. 16 Christ is the one through whom God created everything in heaven and earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see–kings, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities. Everything has been created through him and for him.

17 He existed before everything else began, and he holds all creation together.

18 Christ is the head of the church, which is his body. He is the first of all who will rise from the dead, so he is first in everything.

19 For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ,

20 and by him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of his blood on the cross.

21 This includes you who were once so far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions,

22 yet now he has brought you back as his friends. He has done this through his death on the cross in his own human body. As a result, he has brought you into the very presence of God, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.

23 But you must continue to believe this truth and stand in it firmly. Don’t drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News. The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed by God to proclaim it.

Quote of the Day

When we worship the Lord, let’s remember that He is in control. Nothing alarms Him, or takes Him by surprise. Nothing is too big for Him to handle, or so small it escapes His attention. When the winds of my world begin to blow, He remains seated. When raging waves surround me, He governs their temper…I need not be moved … Because the Lord is seated and sovereign…He alone is sovereign. ~Ronald James~
