He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
(ESV)

What do you do when it feels like your world is falling apart? It is common for us to think we need to handle our problems ourselves, not admitting to others our sins or shortcomings. We think if we can just pull ourselves together, everything will be okay. It can be humbling to admit we are wrong, or that we cannot handle something on our own. Thankfully, through Jesus, we are delivered from this darkness of sin and sorrow and are redeemed! Jesus holds all things—even us—together. Praise be to God!
