Sustaining the Universe

“It is he who made the earth by his power,
who established the world by his wisdom,
and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.”

– Jeremiah 51:15

Praise God, our Creator! God spoke the universe into existence. He formed the earth by the power of His will. He built the world on the foundation of His perfect wisdom. This is why the things we call “laws of nature” exist. They are the human expression of God’s unchanging wisdom on which the universe is built. In His perfect knowledge, God made the galaxies, stars, and planets. Everything we are, everything we have, and everything we see, hear, touch, taste, and smell comes from God’s act of creation. Think about that. Really take time to think about it. There’s NOTHING apart from God’s will, power, wisdom, and understanding. Let this truth bring you to a humble place of praise for your Creator.

These things aren’t merely true about God’s original act of Creation. Scripture is very clear that God continues to sustain the universe right now. Things exist and nature’s “laws” remain true because God actively wills it right now. Specifically, it is God the Son, the eternal Christ, Whose will sustains you, this planet, and the entire universe moment-by-moment. Jesus isn’t just the Savior of the world, He is its sustainer. Creation holds together because He is actively willing it to do so. Praise the Son for literally holding your world together! Praise and #FollowJesus.
