God's Eternality

Psalm 90:1–4

A Prayer of Moses, the man of God.

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.

You return man to dust

and say, “Return, O children of man!”

For a thousand years in your sight

are but as yesterday when it is past,

or as a watch in the night. (ESV)

We Dwell in Him

“The great blessedness of God’s eternity for His people is given in the first verse, “Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.”  Far from being an abstract truth, the eternity of God is filled with rich implication for the believer.  Elsewhere in Scripture we read that God dwells in us; here, we read that in every generation, the children of God dwell in Him. Scripture uses the word dwell to denote the living together of God with His people, to denote a life of friendship with God and security in God.  In every generation, the saints have found their abode not in temple or churches, but in the great God set forth in temple and churches.” - Rev. D. H. Kuiper.

Ecclesiastes 3:11

He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. (ESV)

Where is the beauty in this?

“Put another way, God, who ultimately brings beauty from everything, has given time-bound humans a longing for timelessness, but in our limited understanding we cannot grasp what he is doing between time’s beginning and its end. We look around at the times and seasons and ask, “Where is the beauty God is bringing from this?” We expect him to make everything beautiful in our time. But the one who determines the beginning and the end does not operate according to our timelines.” - Jen Wilken None Like Him
