October 14 - Daily Message - Colossians 1:16

I believe this is a message to us from God, written from His perspective – Sherri 

Colossians 1:16 NLT “for through Him (Christ) God created everything in the heavenly realm and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see – such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through Him and for Him.”
 
The verses preceding and following this are also powerful if you want to explore more (15-22) and I am powerfully in them all, but this one shows a mystery of the Kingdom that is good to mediate on and consider deeply…
 
“Everything was created through Christ and for Christ.”
 
You were created for Christ.
 
He created you.
 
Let that sink in for a moment or two….
 
You weren’t created for the purpose of doing something specific or accomplishing something for the Kingdom. When you read the last few chapters of Job (38-41) it is easy to see that there is very little I need from you and very little you can do for Me. Your purpose does not lie in your doing. It lies in the truth that you were made for Jesus, through Jesus, and when you were drawn away from Him by sin, for the joy set before Him He endured the cross (Hebrews 12:2). You are the joy set before Him!
 
I was out of the joy of being reconciled to you that He was able to endure the cross…He thought of you during the pain just as a mother thinks of her baby during childbirth, and that helps her endure the pain.
 
All these things that tug on you every day – anxieties, worries, concerns, agendas, plans, even desires are all so irrelevant (even though they are important) when compared to simply existing in the knowledge that you were made for Christ.
 
Consider this approach for your busy day…
 
Hebrews 10:22 NLT “let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting Him.”
 
Today is a day of being in Him and with Him and experiencing the fullness of My presence as a result. My presence is what you seek most. When you strive to have something or accomplish something what you hope to experience or feel at that moment is My presence. That joy of accomplishment, the excitement of getting something you have hoped for over a long period of time is a foreshadowing of the joy you will experience for al eternity in My presence…I invite you into that presence now (Colossians 1:22) where you can experience the real thing rather than a lesser substitute.
 
Matthew 28:30 ESV “Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest…for My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
