“ALL THINGS!”

Colossians 1:15-20                      (ESV)

“15 HE is the image of the invisible GOD, the FIRSTBORN of ALL creation.

16 For by HIM “ALL THINGS” were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-“ALL THINGS” were created THROUGH HIM and FOR HIM.

17 And HE is before all things, and in HIM “ALL THINGS” hold together.

18 And HE is the head of the body, THE CHURCH. HE is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, THAT IN EVERYTHING HE MIGHT BE PREEMINENT.

19 For in HIM all the fullness of GOD was pleased to dwell,

20 and through HIM to reconcile to HIMSELF “ALL THINGS”, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of HIS cross.”

Recently the SPIRIT OF GOD has been dealing with me about the majesty and magnificence of GOD, just how much HE is, and how much I am not!  We seem to display through our actions that the surroundings we are exposed to is “our world”, and nothing else should matter?  

Well, here is a NEWS FLASH, “ALL THINGS” were CREATED THROUGH HIM and FOR HIM.  HE is the FIRSTBORN of ALL CREATION and we have the awesome privilege of living our physical lives for a brief span, reflecting HIS Image and demonstrating HIS grace.  Some of us are “called out” of the darkness into HIS marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9), and some have yet to SEE the LIGHT, until Judgement Day when everything will become visible (1 Corinthians 3:13).  

It is my desire for everyone to have their EYES opened and to be able to SEE the things of the SPIRIT, but only GOD can do that (Luke 24:13-35) and HE has shown me many times that HE doesn’t need me to help HIM!  HE made “ALL THINGS” and HE made us for HIS Glory.  We are here to Glorify HIM and to evangelize “this world”!  We should leave “ALL THINGS” other than these to HIM!
