Sustainability: How to Sustain Things (3)

This is the third instalment 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

Account of An Agnost (Conclusion)

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 neither totter downward nor swings 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 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 sustain all things!

All things are first created and then 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, and sustain anything as well as 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.

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’ Name!
