Ephesians 1:22
And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church,
So the premise being that Jesus is the Sovereign head over everything. Meaning that all things are held together by Him and no detail escapes His watchful eye.
In fact it is this premise that becomes the bedrock of so many of the Bible’s great promises, we have come to rely upon and live our lives in light of.
Such as:
Philippians 4:13
New International Version (NIV)
13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Jeremiah 29:11
New International Version (NIV)
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Romans 8:31
New International Version (NIV)
More Than Conquerors
31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:28
New International Version (NIV)
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose.
These are the most obvious and cherished of promises found in Scripture but the premise that Jesus is on the Throne and in active leadership over all of the intricacies of the church gives the firm foundation of our ongoing active faith in building His Kingdom on earth as it is done in Heaven.

To walk today in complete trust that all things that come my way are ordained by Him who sits on the Throne.
