Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
. . .
For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.
So many things about our lives are uncertain. This one thing, however, is sure: no matter where, when, or how long, God will be there and will be with us and will be for us. He is the "I AM" - the one
"who is, and who was, and who is to come" - of every past, present, and future moment (
Revelation 1:8). He will not forsake us (
Hebrews 13:5-6). We will never be separated from his love for us in Jesus (
Romans 8:38-39). Because God existed before anything was made (
John 1:1-3), we can trust he will be with us when this form of creation ends, and when he ushers us into our eternal home with him forever (
1 Corinthians 7:31;
1 Thessalonians 4:17-18;
1 John 2:17). Hold fast, dear child of the eternal God, our Father has all of us, his children, in his
"everlasting arms" (
Deuteronomy 33:27-28).
Everlasting Father, I find great comfort in knowing that I cannot be in a place or time where you are not. Stir my courage through your Spirit, that I may be bolder because of your power and presence. Help me to share the Gospel of Jesus with boldness, yet with gentleness and respect,* with those who need your hope. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
