"The source of a thing is the sustenance thereof" thus, a wise man rightly put. God who is the creator of all things automatically sustains all. He gives food to all animals daily including man. They look to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed Psalms 34:5. What you look to constantly you become. That is the nature of man.
God called forth different creatures from different sources at creation. That clearly tells us that those sources must sustain such creatures. He spoke to the ground to release animals that crawl on it. He spoke to the sea to let some have their being in it, the sky to let the birds fly yet He formed man both from the ground, breathed into him the breath of life and became a LIVING SOUL.
Take a bird off the air into the water to survive, it can only last for few minutes. Pull a tree out of the ground, with time it withers away. Take the breath out of the nostrils of man, he is but like a pill of dung. Yet watch this: no wonder the campaign and wide awareness for plant-based food is on the rise now. Man shall be sustained both by the breath of God and the food taken directly from the ground not from the laboratories. Even plant-feed animal's meat is the most nutritious.
Let us focus on the breath of God for now because every other form of sustenance will only last with time but that of God's breath is forever. One advantage of knowing Christ is that man has complied with staying in the order of God. Man at redemption agrees to the covenant that he will be dependent on God. Enough of running from Him. Eternal life is the focus now in time not necessarily the physical health or wellbeing.
One thing is to be pursued and every other things shall be added. Seek the kingdom (what concerns God most on Earth) and He will add every other thing. " My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to their flesh" Proverbs 4:20-22.
God gave us a principal tool at salvation. The word to believe in our heart unto righteousness and to confess with our mouth unto salvation. So the word is key on earth to walking with God. He is the word, He became flesh and lives among us full of grace and truth. The word is the light of men, the light is the life of men. This light shines in darkness and it can not overcome Him.
This word is in us as faith and with Him, we overcome the world. This is the victory that overcomes the world even our faith. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word. This word sustains man being the source of all things. No wonder man is saddled with this authority over all things. Only man was created with both the hands and the breath while every other creature was only called out.
Hold fast to the word of God and run with it keeping pace with the Holy Spirit now like never before. He will direct you, fight through you and you shall keep your peace. Be conscious of God's presence with you as you uphold the word. He upholds all things by the word of His power. He honors His word much more than His name however, His word reveals His name in the first place.
God is our source and sustenance forever, remain in intimacy with Christ.
