Colossians 1:17

He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

The verses before this one are talking about the creation and how it was all created in Christ. This verse has a couple of meanings for me . First,  it almost seems to have something to do with the fabric of the universe or the molecules used to create everything or something like that. Something very fundamental and "sciency". Second, this verse lets me know that when my world is falling apart, Christ holds all things together. Christ is there to support us.

Lord, you are so amazing. You knitted together the fabric of our universe. You created a son to be your image. Your son holds all things together. Amen.

Joshua 3:5

Joshua told the people, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you."

In this story God stops the flow of the Jordan River so the Israelites can pass. I think we can apply this scripture every day. Everyday we should consecrate ourselves because every tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things.

( consecrate - to set aside or dedicate for God's use)

Lord, please help me to look for the amazing things you do every day and please help me to keep myself consecrated so that I can see them. Amen.
