He Holds It All Together

“He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” - Colossians 1:17

Life has a way of coming apart at the seams. Responsibilities pile up, relationships strain, plans unravel, and the things you thought were steady suddenly feel fragile. You try to keep everything under control, yet the harder you work, the more it seems to slip through your fingers. In moments like that, it is easy to wonder if anyone sees what you are carrying or if anything in your life is secure.

Colossians 1 gives a truth that speaks directly into those uncertain seasons. Scripture says that Jesus holds all things together. Not some things. Not the easy things. All things. The same One who spoke creation into existence is the One who keeps your world from collapsing. He is not distant from your struggle. He is holding every piece with strength that never weakens.

When life feels like it is falling apart, your confidence does not come from your ability to manage everything. It comes from knowing that Jesus is already holding what you cannot. He holds your future when you cannot see the next step. He holds your family when worry weighs heavy. He holds your heart when disappointment tries to break it. Nothing slips through His hands, even when it slips through yours.

You may feel overwhelmed, but He is not. You may feel unsteady, but He is steady. You may feel like you are losing control, but He has never lost control for a moment. The same power that holds the universe in place is the power that holds your life. You can rest in that truth. You can breathe again because you are not carrying this alone.

Whatever you are facing today, bring it to the One who holds all things together. Let Him take the weight you were never meant to carry. Trust that He knows how to hold what feels too heavy for you. Even when your world feels unstable, He remains unshaken. In Him, your life is safe, secure, and held with perfect care.
