This theme is woven throughout Scripture, illustrating God's faithfulness and the believer's reliance on Him.<br><br><b>Divine Provision and Sustenance</b><br><br>God's role as the sustainer of life is a central theme in the Bible. In <a href="/genesis/1-29.htm">Genesis 1:29-30</a>, God provides food for both humans and animals, establishing His role as the provider from the very beginning. This provision is not limited to physical sustenance but extends to spiritual and emotional support. In <a href="/psalms/55-22.htm">Psalm 55:22</a>, the psalmist encourages believers to "cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken" . This verse highlights the assurance that God maintains the righteous, offering them stability and support.<br><br><b>God's Faithfulness to His People</b><br><br>Throughout the history of Israel, God maintained His covenant with His people, despite their frequent disobedience. In <a href="/deuteronomy/8-3.htm">Deuteronomy 8:3-4</a>, Moses reminds the Israelites of God's faithfulness during their wilderness journey: "He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. Your clothing did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years" . This passage underscores God's continuous care and provision, maintaining His people even in difficult circumstances.<br><br><b>The Role of Faith and Obedience</b><br><br>While God maintains His creation, there is an expectation of faith and obedience from His people. In <a href="/proverbs/3-5.htm">Proverbs 3:5-6</a>, believers are instructed to "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight" . This trust in God is a prerequisite for experiencing His sustaining power. Similarly, in <a href="/john/15-4.htm">John 15:4-5</a>, Jesus emphasizes the importance of abiding in Him: "Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me. I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing" . This metaphor illustrates the necessity of a close relationship with Christ to be maintained spiritually.<br><br><b>God's Maintenance of Creation</b><br><br>The Bible also speaks to God's maintenance of the natural world. In <a href="/colossians/1-16.htm">Colossians 1:16-17</a>, Paul writes about Christ's role in creation: "For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together" . This passage affirms that Christ is actively involved in sustaining the universe, maintaining the order and existence of all things.<br><br><b>Human Responsibility in Maintenance</b><br><br>While God is the ultimate maintainer, humans are also given responsibilities to maintain what God has entrusted to them. In <a href="/genesis/2-15.htm">Genesis 2:15</a>, Adam is placed in the Garden of Eden "to work it and take care of it" . This stewardship principle extends to all areas of life, including relationships, resources, and the environment. Believers are called to be faithful stewards, maintaining what God has provided in a way that honors Him.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The theme of being maintained in the Bible encompasses God's provision, faithfulness, and the believer's responsibility to trust and obey. Through His sustaining power, God ensures the well-being of His creation and His people, inviting them to rely on Him fully.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp. & p. p.</I>) of Maintain.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/2192.htm"><span class="l">2192. echo -- to have, hold</span></a> <br><b>...</b> held (1), hold (5), holding (7), holds (2), ill* (5), incurring (1), involves (1),<br> keep (3), keeping (3), kept (1), maintain (1), <b>maintained</b> (1), maintaining (1 <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/2192.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 11k</font><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/8104.htm"><span class="l">8104. shamar -- to keep, watch, preserve</span></a><br><b>...</b> keep (1), heeds (1), hoarded (1), indignant (1), keep (156), keeper (8), keepers<br> (2), keeping (10), keeps (19), kept (38), kept watch (2), <b>maintained</b> (1), mark <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/8104.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><p> <a href="/hebrew/6213a.htm"><span class="l">6213a. asah -- do, make</span></a><br><b>...</b> 1), inflicted (1), inlaid (1), instituted (2), introduced (2), keep (1), kept (1),<br> labored (1), laborers (1), made (369), maintain (6), <b>maintained</b> (1), make <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/6213a.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 8k</font><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/sozomen/the_ecclesiastical_history_of_sozomenus/chapter_ix_sufferings_of_those_who.htm"><span class="l">Sufferings of those who <b>Maintained</b> the Nicene Faith.
