Psalm 90:1-6  
A prayer of Moses the man of God. 

Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations. Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. You turn people back to dust, saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.” A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death—they are like the new grass of the morning: In the morning it springs up new, but by evening it is dry and withered.

God is eternal. There was never a time when He wasn’t; there will never be a time when He ceases to exist. He has neither beginning nor end.

God is eternal. There is no succession of moments in His being. God never says, “My goodness, I don’t know where July went.” He is not on a twenty-four hour cycle of days, weeks, months and years.

God is eternal. He sees all things equally vividly. We see things one moment at a time, but God sees all things from beginning to end at the same time in living color!

God is eternal. While He sees all things equally vividly, God sees events in time and acts in time. He watches us throughout the day. In fact, He never takes His eyes off us. In every situation of our day, God gives us exactly what we need right when we need it.

God is eternal…and He loves us so much that He sent His Son to pay the penalty of our sins so we can call Him, “Abba, Father.” Amazing!

Eternal Father, I cannot comprehend Your eternality. But I can experience Your love and care. Thank You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
