...that in everything

        He might be preeminent.

                         Colossians 1. 18

(The word "everything"

           means exactly that.

           No exclusions.

Not that Christ would be a priority,

      an important part of our lives.

Not that He would be prominent,

      as making Him "first place."

But that He is preeminent,

    seamlessly woven throughout.

Not this or that,

              but all in all.)

 

O LORD,

May we recognize Your Presence

and power in all things

and seek to bring You glory.

Help us to not relegate You

     to place or position

but continually knowing You

     with a whole heart,

not just a corner of it.
