Fix It in Mind

John 1:1-3

[1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

[2] He was with God in the beginning.

[3] Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

Colossians 1:15-17

[15] He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

[16] For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.

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

Yes, The devil and every demon was made and is under the absolute authority of God.

EVERYTHING!

So what if entertainers, politicians, and evil people seem to run amok? They can be super close to the devil and as powerful as Sauron. They are still nothing but characters in a temporary story to Him who made AND is the very foundation that holds them together!

They are nothing!!

So are you... unless He says otherwise.

Daniel 4:35

[35] All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand or say to him: "What have you done?"

Psalm 115:3

[3] Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.

Proverbs 19:21

[21] Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails.

Isaiah 46:8-10

[8] "Remember this, fix it in mind, take it to heart, you rebels.

[9] Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.

[10] I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.

Does this bother you?

It does if you don't know Him.

If you don't know Him, you can't trust Him.

If you don't trust Him, you are not His.

You are just a simple character in a cosmic novel.

Oh, but if you desire to know Him.

If you do not limit Him.

If you are called by His name.

If He is everything to you...

You are the reason the story was made.

You are the true product that the cosmic machine is building.

Your success in this endeavor has nothing to do with you.

He WILL make you into what He wants.

You just need to hang on knowing all the while that your pain has a purpose.

It has already ended well for you. You are just on the other side of the door. One heartbeat away...

To being made perfect.

Do not fear demon or man. Just hold on to who you know.

You will be fine.

No... way better than fine!

Yes, you can boast about this.

He is pleased by this.

Now you know.
