I am the everlasting God.

Psalm 90:2

Before  the mountains were brought forth,
before you had formed the earth and  the world,
even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.


As   human beings, we are used to things    having a beginning and an end.   We are born, we grow up and then we die.    While the human heart never   really gets used to the idea of death    (because we were created to   live forever), we do know that there is a    time to start things and a  time to wrap them up. Our tiny minds are so    finite that we cannot   possibly comprehend things that are beyond our    existing paradygms.

God   on the other hand, has been around    forever. There has never been a    time where He didn’t exist. Before the    mountains were created,   before   the earth spun on its axis, God was.  He   was not born and He will  not die. He is the everlasting God. He  lives   forever. While   this  thought might have a tendency to short  circuit the   wiring in   our  brain, may we ask God by the power of His  Holy Spirit to   help us   comprehend His everlasting nature.

I  believe that the   more   we can meditate on the amazing vastness of our  God and Father, we     will begin to realize that He created us to  experience this eternal    life  with Him! And the eternal life that He  wants us to live is really    not a  time continuum or a destination, but a   relationship. In  Jesus’   high  priestly prayer in John 17:3, He   describes eternal life  like   this…Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. (NIV)

May      each one of us take great comfort in knowing that our Father is the      everlasting God and He has called us to live an everlasting life  with     Him!
