GOD IS

Psalm 90:2 (NIV) “Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.”

There are many things that just don’t last anymore. Things are made to wear out or break so that you will need to buy another one. You pay top dollar for items that do last and even then they still don’t last forever. This is all driven by profit margins and overhead. You maximize your net profit by making your costs as lean as possible. This is the opposite of God.

God was, is and shall be. He was before time began. He existed prior to creation. I cannot get my mind around such a concept. It is probably due to the fact that we only utilize 10% of our brains as we discussed the other day. It thus becomes a faith / trust issue. Even though I wasn’t there at the beginning of time; even though I am not God, nor do I pretend to be; I believe what the Word of God says about the Creator of the Universe. It is easier to disbelieve such things than to believe it. It is easier to dismiss it as a fairy tale.

So many of us want things right in front of us to see and inspect … to pass judgment on it. In that type of scenario WE are the ones in control. It doesn’t work that way. God is … He simply IS. I don’t understand that … He wasn’t created Himself. He just exists. But don’t get hung up on that statement. You either accept it as something seen but not seen or you don’t. Simply understand that God always was and always will be. According to scripture there never was a time when He didn’t exist. If you think about that long enough you will go crazy. It is illogical.
It makes no sense to our limited understanding. Yet that alone doesn’t make it false. There are many things in this life that we cannot prove. I can’t prove anything from history. We have pictures, with more recent history we have video clips. But we were not there and even if we were what we saw and experienced would be subject our own interpretation.

So what do we do with this Biblical statement? Just like anything else in the Bible, we must take it by faith that God is Who He says He is and has always been in existence. Because the why and the wherefore of it just isn’t that important. If you could prove without a shadow of a doubt that God did exist, what would it change? Would God become more powerful? Would He be any different than He already is? No. He would not. So believe it or don’t believe it, but know this, the Bible clearly states that God has always existed and will always exist and that should comfort us. In a world where abandonment is a rampant problem, it should bring us hope and solace. Be of good cheer, for no matter what difficulties life hands you, God is and will always be there and is more than willing and capable of sustaining you if you choose to rely on Him.

WALK WITH THE KING TODAY AND BE A BLESSING!!
