I'm currently in the midst of a series of sermons on the "everything" or "all things passages." I was looking at some of my favorite and inspiring passages of scripture that I find comfort in and they all seem to have the "everything" or "all things" idea in them. For example the 1st sermon I preached was Phil. 4:13, I can do everything through him who gives me strength. The next one was Rom. 8:28, And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. The third sermon was from Col. 3:17, And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. This Sunday the sermon will be on 1 Cor. 16:14, Do everything in love.
The idea that God wants all of my life, every thought, every day, every moment of energy is embedded in these sermons. Jesus is Lord and he reigns within me. He is everything to me and thus all things in my life must be done and given over to him. The promise of God is that he will take care of all things when we put him in everything of our lives.
How about any of you? Do you have an "everything" passage that has special meaning to you?

"Do everything without complaining or arguing." Phil 2:14 Mom used to quote that one to me on a regular basis.
Glad you're blogging again!
