I am thankful that I do not have to fully rule over all. Yes, I do not have to rule over all. That job is for Jesus as given to Him by God.
“21far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, 23which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.” — Ephesians 1:21-23 (ESV)
Everything is under the rule and authority of Jesus and for that I am thankful. He will provide and protect, guide and direct, and care and love me and all that I am working in and through. I have Him to show me the way and clear the path. I have Jesus to lean on at all times and where he has tasks for me to complete, I am never alone in that work as He is with me all the way.
In my life I have or had bosses, managers, leaders, mentors, and authority figures and none of them compare to the role that Jesus has. He is the authority that gives strength. He is the leader that truly says “follow me”. He not only sets me on a path, but stays with me ever present when I need help. Jesus is the answer to any and all based on His rule and authority over any and all. I am thankful for His authority and knowing that when I need Him, I only need ask and He will be there.
What authority does Jesus have in your life? Are you aware that He is there for you every step of the way? What if you leaned on Him and were thankful for His being there and having that authority in all?
