Jesus Holds Everything Together

Anger and worry are two emotions we deal with on a daily basis. We worry because we feel like it will help us to fix whatever problem we are dealing with. We use anger to make others behave as we want but in the long haul, it is destructive. In this episode, James Bryan Smith explains this glorious thought: relax, Jesus runs the universe. When we face problems, when we feel ourselves becoming angry or anxious, we do well to turn to Jesus, to invite him into our situation, to see our situation in light of Jesus and his resources and his power and his provision and his wisdom. Smith explains that we are not to act as if don’t care about these moments in our life but rather we should turn to Jesus in these moments. James closes the episode by quoting the chorus to the gospel song “Because He Lives”
