“In Him all things consist.” Colossians 1:17 The Lord Jesus holds our world together, maintaining the natural laws that rule the galaxy. Our Creator also upholds “all things by the word of His power” (Heb. 1:3).  Jesus is so mighty that He keeps the universe in order simply by commanding it to be so! As amazing as this is, Jesus is more than a cosmic caretaker.  He sustains us too. He “gives life and breath to everything, and He satisfies every need” (Acts 17:25) While Jesus sometimes provides for us differently than we might expect or hope, our Savior keeps us going whether we are broken-hearted, in need of money, or enduring illness.  Until the day He calls us home, we can trust that the One who keeps the stars from falling is the One who holds us up as well. The God who sustains the universe sustains me.
