Today's Devotion Thursday, October 25, 2001 "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:" (Colossians 1:16) Today's Thought What an awesome God we serve! What a mighty God we serve! What a powerful God we serve! Today's verse is a subtle reminder that God is in control of ALL things. He created them for a reason. It is also a reminder that with Him all things are possible! If he can create the universe in such an intricate way, He can take care of our day-to-day affairs. He's not stumped by our unusual circumstances, neither is He overwhelmed by the greatness of our troubles. As a matter of fact, we are reminded that there is a REASON behind everything He has created. We may not see the reason behind the circumstances of life we find ourselves in, but we are assured that there IS a reason and He is working on our behalf . . . creating the way where there seems to be no way! Look to Him today even though your circumstances may seem overwhelming . . . and remember, if He can create a universe with all the principalities, powers, thrones and dominions . . . He's certainly able to take care of you! Today's Prayer Father, forgive my unbelief again! It is so easy to be overcome with the manifestation of my circumstances and not see the manifestation of Your provision! You truly are great, awesome, and mighty . . . there is none like You, no not one! Help me remember, Father, that you are my Waymaker . . . You're still in the "creation" business . . . making ways where I fail to see them! I love you, Lord! Amen! Have a blessed day!
