This verse is a declarative statement, a fact being made known: THE LORD IS THE SUSTAINER. It is of a personal nature, regarding what belongs to me: MY SOUL. He feeds me, He leads me; He wounds me, He heals me. He gives me freedom, He holds me close.
I can lean on Him, on His Word. He is the Everlasting God, who strengthens me with His right arm and raises me up to be with Him. He will never let me fall for He holds my hand in His. Though I stumble, I will not fall. In His embrace I am secure.

EVERLASTING FATHER
Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Everlasting: perpetuity
Father: title of respect and honor due the head of the household/family/clan.
God gives us fathers here on earth to raise us up in God's Word that we may be nurtured in spiritual milk, meat and bread, honey and water. But ultimately our God is Father over all, for He provides for His people, as a shepherd provides for His sheep. God is our Source, our Sustainer, our Provider, our Shepherd, and our Heavenly Father; therefore only God can meet our every need. For in Him we have all; through Him, we are able to share with all. That's a good, good Father. He meets the need before the need arises because He knows what we need even before we ask for it.
