The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Colossians 1:15-17 NIV
In the Bible, "sustain" primarily means to support, maintain, or keep something in existence, often in the context of God's provision and care for His creation.
The Bible frequently depicts God as the ultimate Sustainer, actively maintaining all things through His power and word.
We discovered eight verses that point to the word sustain.
What enables Him to sustain such unconditional love for His creations? Does He not feel distressed and disappointed by the worldly events? How does He not succumb to frustration and say I give up???
How does He maintain all things?
I am filled with heartfelt gratitude for His boundless love! But even more, I am grateful for Him!! All of Him, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! At some point on this journey, He lovingly dismantled the walls I had built through life's trials... and as I humbly stood before Him, scared and vulnerable, I surrendered my heart and fell in love with Him!!
But I recall I panicked and exclaimed, What will people think? I'm in love with God! Is that crazy? Yet, embracing this divine love, the world around me dissolved, and I began to open my eyes and truly see beauty surrounding my life. Each new day presented endless possibilities! I felt an inexplicable, powerful love. Could this truly be deemed crazy? It's undoubtedly the most precious gift we can receive! How do we sustain this love? How do we nurture it and make it grow?
As in any relationship, you begin by showing up each day with a heart full of longing! You want to know facts about His life and how He relates to life and others? You read His love story, “The Bible". You close your eyes, open your heart, and give your soul permission to breathe!
Take His hand and allow Him to lead you on the most breathtaking journey!!! Embrace all of His magnificent being!! The strong and wise Father! His tender-hearted Son, and His patient and loving Holy Spirit… Together, they are my three-in-one; they surpass all human logic !!! But on a spiritual level, they are the most precious treasure we could ever receive! How could we not just fall hopelessly in love!! He is the ultimate sustainer…
It’s Him! It will always be Him!!
"Your words are what sustain me; they are food to my hungry soul. They bring joy to my sorrowing heart and delight me." Jeremiah 15:16 TLB
