PREPOSITIONS!

Prepositions are very small, common words. We're all familiar with them as they point to or show direction.Think....by, for, to, through, in and of. My 4th grade teacher Mrs. Munday taught us not to end our sentences with a preposition but that rule seems to have vanished these days.

What hasn't changed: Prepositions all have an object. Prepositions precede said object. Objects of prepositions are nouns or pronouns, NEVER a verb. That's the "golden rule" of prepositions.
Yesterday's New Morning Mercies (July 11) was filled with prepositions pointing to the ONE who is always the answer!
For to us a child is born, (Isaiah 9:6)
For from him and through him, and to him were all things. (Romans 11:36)
For by him, all things were created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, (Colossians 1:16)
And he is before all things and in him all things hold together. (Colossians 1:17)
...by your will (all things) existed and were created. (Revelation 4:11)

BTW, regardless of the preceding preposition....The answer is JESUS!
