🌿 Daily Devotion 📅 Date: January 13, 2026 📖 Theme: Held Together by Him 🔖 Series: God the Beginning 📜 Scripture: “And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.” — Colossians 1:17 (NKJV) 💭 Reflection This verse reveals a deep and comforting truth: God did not only start everything — He is the reason everything is still standing. Christ existed before all things, and right now, everything holds together because of Him. “In Him all things consist” means He sustains, supports, and keeps everything from falling apart. The world is not held together by chance, systems, or strength. It is held together by Christ. This is prophetic reassurance for anyone feeling overwhelmed. If your life feels like it is about to break, remember this — the same Christ who existed before your situation is the One holding you together right now. You may feel weak, but you are not collapsing because Christ is sustaining you. You may feel stretched, but you are not breaking because Christ is keeping you. When God is your beginning, He is also your sustainer. 🛠 Practical Application Today, lean on God’s sustaining power. Stop carrying everything by yourself. Trust Christ to hold what you cannot control. Rest in the truth that you are being kept by God. You are not surviving by strength — you are standing by grace. 🙏 Prayer Lord Jesus, I thank You because You are before all things and You hold all things together. I release my burdens into Your hands. Where I feel weak, sustain me. Where I feel overwhelmed, strengthen me. Be the One who keeps my life steady and secure. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 💡 Thought / Challenge for the Day What feels like it is falling apart right now? Place it in Christ’s hands. When He is your beginning, He will also be your strength to continue.
