How to Sustain Anything (3)

This is the final part of our initial meditation on how to sustain anything.

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power…
– Hebrews 1:3

I thought within myself, “So with all the billions of people on earth, plus the heavy-duty machines and mega structures all around, the earth still hangs IN SPACE with nothing holding it up or supporting it below, and it does not totter downward or out of its orbit!

Goodness! So the earth hangs on empty space without any visible support!

That was the last straw for me. I was completely broken and my defences were shattered. I knelt down right there and begged God to forgive me for doubting His Son.

I realised how foolish I had been to dispute the word of God in the Bible and subject Jesus’ sonship and other such divine mysteries in the Bible to logical reasoning when God Himself had said some things are hidden from our limited human understanding (Deut 29:29).

I know scientists have christened the force that holds the universe the force of gravity. But, it never ceases to amaze me to date, and whenever I consider the passage above, I realize that what the scientists call the force of gravity is no other than the word of God. The Bible says God upholds all things by the word of his power. That means God does not just use the word to create all things, He also uses the word to hold things, keep things in place or keep them together. In other words, God also uses His word to sustain all things!

All things are first created by the Word of God. All things are also held in place by the force of the word of God. The word of God is the best and the most efficient tool to maintain, keep, preserve sustain anything and all things. If it can hold such massive entities as the earth and other planets firmly in place, then it is well able to sustain your affairs as well.

In a world full of uncertainties, where change is the only constant thing, perhaps we can find solace in this knowledge. The word of God is all you need to create a desired condition as well as stabilize things in your life. It does not just offers us a vast creative power, it also avails us the knowledge about how to sustain things.

If the Almighty God needed the Word to create and firmly hold all things, what makes you think you can do yours some other way?

You will succeed in Jesus’s Name!
