God Is Not Governed By Time

Scripture
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
(Psalm 90:2)
Devotional
God is and has always been God. He was not created, nor did He have a beginning. He dwells and reigns in and from eternity, which is timelessness. He is not relegated or governed by time. Therefore, He is able to be omnipresent and omnipotent. God simply is and knows. He sees all simultaneously. Our lives are laid out before Him in their entirety. From beginning to life’s end He knows our every action, thought and need. All history and future events are before His eyes. The past, the present and the future are alike to Him. He is never taken by surprise. We can never catch Him unaware. Our trials, problems and circumstances are continually before Him. He is always able to work them for good. We may not be able to see the end result of things, God does. We can trust Him and therefore be at peace, even in the midst of life’s storms.
Thought For The Night
“What is largely missing in American life today is a sense of context, of saying or doing anything that is intended or even expected to live beyond the moment. There is no culture in the world that is so obsessed as ours with immediacy. In our journalism, the trivial displaces the momentous because we tend to measure the importance of events by how recently they happened. We have become so obsessed with facts that we have lost all touch with truth.” Ted Koppel, News anchor of the Nightline television program.
