Based on the scriptures found in The Purpose-Driven Life – Day 1

Everything: 101

Based on Colossians 1:16; Ephesians 1:11; 1 Corinthians 2:7
For all things created in heaven and earth,
and everything hidden or shown;
in spite of dominions — from battle or birth — 
regardless of ruler or throne;
for all of creation, from Eden to now,
is by him and through him — alone.

For we were selected — before life began,
before earth’s foundations were laid — 
to share in — according to his perfect plan — 
his glory that never will fade.
So, this was God’s wisdom: once hidden from man,
​revealed now — his purpose displayed. 
Colossians 1:16 (Msg)
For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, . . . everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him.
Ephesians 1:11 (Msg)
It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for.  Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone.
1 Corinthians 2:7 (Msg)
God’s wisdom . . . goes deep into the interior of his purposes . . . .  It’s not the latest message, but more like the oldest – what God determined as the way to bring out his best in us.
