HEAD
Welcome to the book of Colossians! It’s another letter written by Paul. I love this chapter of Colossians because we get to really see Christ’s superiority. In verse 16, we see that “all things were created by Him, in Heaven AND on Earth, visible and invisible, and that all things were created through him and for him.” Doesn’t that blow your mind? ALL things! That’s so hard for me to grasp.
HEART
Have you ever been looking at the mountains or watching the waves at the beach with the sun setting in the background and suddenly you become so overwhelmed by the beauty and big-ness of it all? You feel overwhelmed, but you also feel peace that comes over you as you take it all in. It’s weird to experience both those feelings at the same time, but I think it’s because our minds simply can’t grasp that God made all of what we see. He made every intricate detail! He also made every detail we don’t see! I can’t even begin to imagine what we don’t see! I love going to the beach and the mountains because I get to bask in God’s creation. It’s an incredible reminder of His power and majesty!
HANDS
Next time you are sitting outside, be still and take in everything around you - the birds chirping, the leaves blowing in the wind, the bugs crawling on the ground. Every single thing points you back to the Creator! Remember He made all things! Not just here on Earth, but in Heaven, too! If we’re so amazed on Earth, can you imagine what Heaven will be like?!
Prayer: Dear God, You are amazing! Thank You for Your creation that gives us a glimpse of Your majesty. Help us to take it all in and remember how incredible You are! We love You! Amen.
