Paul placed our lives in context by describing three different dimensions of time. First, he reminded us that we face boundaries. But you now, God is different. He’s infinite and beyond time, dwelling in eternity. And He made promises “before time even existed.”
Paul also assured us that all who are born again have “the hope of eternal life.” Right now, we may face the boundaries of time, but we can also hope to enter that timeless dimension.
Now, what’s particularly unique about this promise is that it was made by God “before time existed,” but it was also revealed “in His own time” at the exact moment of His choosing. From His viewpoint in eternity, God chose the very moment when He wanted to release His message, completely separate from our concept of time, our desires, or perspectives.
We can see this pattern in our relationship with God. We think chronologically, based on where we are in our journey through life. We can become impatient with God, frustrated when He doesn’t act according to our timetable. We also can become arrogant or try to force events. But God looks at everything from an eternal perspective.
Beloved, the key to our relationship with God is being able to trust Him and being confident that He’ll act at just the right time. As the Bible promises, “He has made everything beautiful in its time” (*1.).
Beloved, you can trust in Him for your life.
Sunday’s Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, help us to hold on to Your viewpoint about our life. We trust in You.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen and Amen.
Beloved, life is very short. It comes and goes like an unannounced gust of wind. None of us know the hour or day when that gust of wind will be permitted to enter our room and blow out our earthly light. So today, reach out and touch someone and tell them you love them, BECAUSE TELLING THEM LATER JUST MIGHT BE – TOO LATE.
I LOVE YOU ALL!!! – Have an Amazing Sunday. 😀
