Forever, O Lord


Our sense of time seems so solidified and somewhat daunting, as if tomorrow were a persistent creature always about to pounce yet never appearing. So often we see 10 years as a long inconceivable time frame, casting a huge shadow, because 10 leads to 20, 20 to 50, 50 to 100.

And then time ends.....or so we think, and act, always rushing.

I love how God doesn't view time how we do.
God sees a day and the length of that unit is irrelevant, it might have been a 1,000 years.
God sees a 1,000 years, and it might have been only a day.
I wonder what God sees when He looks at a week, or an hour, or even a minuet. Yet, however small, He sees ever last second.

Because of this God can promise forever.

"I know that, whatsoever God doeth,
it shall be for ever:
nothing can be put to it,
nor any thing taken from it:"Ecc 3:14
