Sustained by the word.

Hebrews 1:3
who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

Jesus upholds, sustains and carries all things by his powerful word. This verse gives an outstanding function of the word, the sustaining power of God's word.

Colossians says all things were made through Jesus and in Him all things are held together. The word of God upholds, carries and sustains all things. When you give God's word first and final place, the word will carry you, sustain you, help you endure the challenges of life and bring you forward in every arena of life. That's how powerful the word of God is. All around the world we see families broken, lack of peace and order, injustice, corruption, fear, terrorism, racial inequality, so on and so forth. It's high time we come back to Gods word, we come back to the Son of God, for only in Him we have stability, sustainability and progress. Jesus said, I am the vine, you are the branches, he who abides in me and my words abide in him will bear much fruit, for without me you can do nothing. Money doesn't keep things together. Properties, fame, assets cannot sustain all things, it's only Jesus, it's only His word that sustains, carries and upholds all things.

Friend, take a look into your life and into every arena of your life. There is a higher life, there is a greater life waiting on you. Jesus died and rose again to give you this awesome and glorious life. I call it the Higher Life. It's the life of the word, where you give the word first and final place in your life. Once you give Jesus and his word their place, everything else will be in place. Live the higher life!
