God is Eternal

Read Psalm 90.

Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
Psalm 90:1-2 ESV

Everlasting to everlasting. The thought of the being with no beginning and no end spirals our minds doesn’t it? Yet this is the very nature of God! He who was and is and will always be! It is constantly part of the anthem of praise sung by the angels and the people of God throughout forever! That song is never exhausted because there is no end to the praiseworthy nature of God!

We cannot help to contemplate our own frailty in the presence of the Almighty. The Psalmist considers how fleeting we are vanishing in an instant. It should keep us humble and it should contrast our hope in the Lord!

God is eternal, and therefore our hope is eternal. He is our refuge! How often do we find ourselves distraught as the people and structures around us crumble! Why? Because we had put upon them trust and certainty beyond their nature. Only the Lord God is eternal and worthy of this trust and praise!

Let us turn to God in praise this season as we prepare our hearts for Easter.
