To be sustained by our Lord God.
I love the idea that God supports me.That he bears the weight of my heavy soul. He keeps me from giving way. That he keeps me going. It is Awesome!! This is the definition of sustain from the dictionary. I very much like the highlighted parts.
The Bible repeats this meaning over and over. So I know it is true!!
