Always and Forever... whoa dude!


What a mind blowing thing to imagine... "always and forever"..! Can we really and truly expect our minds to be able to envision all that God can do from His perspective? I mean, we would not need the Word, we would not need faith, and He would not have had to send Jesus to show us just what trust is all about...


If we doubt that the Infinite and Eternal is possible, well, what are we left with?
Probably this : All that exists is limited to what we can understand, making reality a mere opinion.

Let's think and pray on that, and then realize just how awesome God is to have all this going on around us without us having to know too much!

Here's another snippet from Steve Hill's devotional on the subject, God bless you and enjoy His presence and power in your life today. Agape ~ Eric


"Live eternity-conscious"

Before the mountains were born, or Thou didst give birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God.

Psalm 90:2, NASB

Have you ever tried to imagine eternity? Of course, our finite minds tend to understand things better when we are able to compare the concept to something we already know. For instance, it would be difficult to describe how chocolate tastes to someone who has never tasted it. Similarly, eternity is not a concept easily grasped by humans, whose days are numbered. However, Samuel Davies, a Presbyterian evangelist during the 1700s, relates a beautiful comparison in this passage.

Eternity! We are alarmed at the sound! Lost in the prospect! Eternity with respect to God is a duration without beginning, as well as without end. It is a duration that excludes all number and computation. Days, months, years and ages are lost in it, like drops in the ocean. Millions of millions of years, as many years as there are sands on the seashore or particles of dust in the globe on the earth, all these are nothing to eternity. They do not bear the least imaginable proportion to it, for these will come to an end, as certain as day, but eternity will never, never come to an end. It is a line without an end; it is an ocean without a shore.

As many times a day as you can remember to do so, ask yourself this question: How will my words and deeds today affect eternity? ~ http://www.stevehill.org/ (daily awakenings)
