Better than Duct Tape

Ever use duct tape? I am a typical man that uses A LOT of duct tape. I truly live by the philosophy that if it didn't stay together, you didn't use enough duct tape. Duct tape is to home improvement projects what bacon is to Sunday breakfast.

Duct tape's ability to stick to things and hold things together is unprecedented. And, just when you think it couldn't get any better, they improve duct tape. Now, we have Gorilla tape and 200 mph duct tape; that stuff really holds. If you can't put that chair back together with either of those, it truly cannot be saved.

Today's word is Colossians 1:17, NIV, which reads, "He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together."

Before anything that is was created, GOD was already there. He is eternal: He has always been and He will always be. So, while we may be amazed at some new "creation", some new "discovery", GOD knew it, designed it, created it way before He allowed us to find His creation.

And, it is because of GOD that all things continue. He is gracious and merciful and allows us another day on this earth to enjoy His creations. When we have those days that it seems everything is spinning out of control and that we are surely going to come apart, all we need do is rest in His arms and allow Him to carry us through. Because, no matter how battered you feel, no matter how broken it seems, no matter how much of a lost cause it appears, GOD can put it back together and hold it together. He is far better than duct tape.

Be Blessed,
