My mind is both comforted and boggled by the previousness of God. That He is always first, always preeminent is of immense comfort to those of us who slug it out here on earth in such an undeniably awkward fashion. To know that He has gone before us, preparing the way takes so much pressure off.
Of Jesus Christ, Colossians 1:17 (ESV) says, "And He is before all tings, and in Him all things hold together." All I can say is 'Wow!' He is the Previous One, the One who made all things and sustains all things. He is the Author and Perfector (Hebrews 12:2), the picker (Ephesians 1:3-12) and protector (1 Peter 1:3-5), the chooser and provider (2 Peter 1:10-11). He makes us and moves us; saves us and sends us, instigates our faith and inspires and enables action based upon His glorious realities.
Praise to Jesus Christ, the Previous One, from Whom all blessings flow.
