heading into the weekend

It's Thursday. I am ready for Friday. What's God promise for the weekend?

God holds all things together for you and you can rest secure in Him.

On a walk recently, I found a screw and a penny. I felt like Lord spoke to my heart and said, "The screw represents all those things you try to hold together, try to control. You have all the screws in place and tightened down. Even a few extra just in case one breaks."

The Lord continued, "The penny represents all those things that you place your security in. You also make sure you have "enough" of this or "enough" of that to cover all the possible scenarios."

"Why don't you simply trust in me?"

"I created everything you see and the things you can't see. I hung every star in place and designed every flower in the field. I hold all things together (Colossian 3:16-17). And, those shiny pennies and other worldly things that you hold as security? They are here one day and the next can be gone. I am the beginning and the end (Revelation 1:8). I am eternal. I am your security. I will keep your foot from being caught (Proverbs 3:26). Trust in me."

Friends, you can rest secure and trust in God because He is in control and holds all things together.
