Today's Devotion:
"SECOND FIDDLE"
A well-to-do man invited several
people in his company over to dinner.
After dinner, he asked that they all
join him in the den.
The den was filled with almost
every type of musical instruments!
The host asked that everyone take
the instrument of their choice, and
that they play music together.
Everyone picked up an instrument
except Bill.
The host asked, "What type of
instrument do you play Bill?"
Bill said, "Oh, I don't play an
instrument. I'm away from home."
The host asked, "What type
instrument do you play at home?"
Bill said, "Second fiddle!"
____SCRIPTURE____
Col 1:17-18
17 And he is before all things,
and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the
body, the church: who is the
beginning, the firstborn from
the dead; that in all things he
might have the preeminence.
KJV
____THOUGHT______
Before anything was created,
Jesus existed. (John 1:1-2)
By Him, all things were created.
(John 1:3)
And, by Him, all things in this
universe "consist," or are
sustained. (Heb. 1:3)
Jesus is the "head of the body,
the church:..." (See also Eph. 1:22)
Everything done right in and through
the church is at His direction
and for His glory.
Jesus is the "beginning, the
firstborn from the dead;..."
This does not necessarily
mean He is the first risen
from the dead;
But, it is BY Him that all are
raised.
"..That in all things He might
have the preeminence."
He has the preeminence in:
the universe, the world,
the church, the living and dead.
Does He have the preeminence
in your life?
To Him, do you play
"second fiddle?"
Is He first, and above all other
things in your life?
Love ya!
Bro. Bruce
