Tell us what's wrong and we'll take a look.
Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
It's easy to trust in the "good times". We all want and love it when life is free from suffering, stress, and strife. But how can we experience and trust God in the middle of pain, trials, and tears? Our emotions and feelings can be swayed, leading us to forget the goodness of God. We can be tricked into believing He isn't present, loving, or in control. Truths we have long trusted and applied can seem confusing and irrelevant in dark days. We need to be reminded and trust that Jesus is still over all things.
The book of Colossians is one of God's letters to the Church, reminding and teaching them that Jesus remains Lord over all, no matter what. Jesus Over All is a 9-week daily, verse-by-verse devotional study through the book of Colossians designed to help believers trust in Jesus and His sufficiency and supremacy in everyday life, marriage, family, work, relationships, and more.
Thank you, Jesus, for being Lord over all.
