Lord of heavenly forces... You alone are God over all the earth’s kingdoms. You made both heaven and earth.
JOHN 1:3 (MSG)
Everything was created through him;
nothing—not one thing!—
came into being without him.
THE ESSENCE
Jesus is God over all creation and all that happens within it.
DAILY FODDER
What are the personal implications of Jesus' dominion over the created order?
PRAYER
Lord Jesus Christ, you were involved in every aspect of creation. Nothing came into being apart from you. I confess that I sometimes believe the hype that the world is spinning out of control. Help me to trust you, even though there are a lot of terrible things happening in the world you created. I'm going to allow the beauty of creation to recharge my faith in you. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.

Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
