“Upholding all things by the word of His power” (Heb. 1:3³Who 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 on the right hand of the Majesty on high; (Hebrews 1:3)).

Oh, the marvelous dignity of that One! He upholds not just this world, but all the universe of God. I can take a baseball and toss it down this aisle, but the moment it leaves my hand, my control over it ends. Not so the God who by the Son made the universe. He started it on its way, but He did not let loose. Each planet and star, as it reels through space, is held, sustained and kept in its course by that blessed One.

C. H. Brown (adapted from an address)
