Our Timeless God

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.  Psalm 90:2

 

An eight-year-old once asked me, "How old is God?" I told him he'd asked a very good question and said I was glad he wanted to know more about God.

Then I told this child that God is timeless: He has always existed. God has no beginning, and He has no end. He was never young, and He will never grow old.

I know that statement was hard for him to understand, because everything around us grows old or wears out. Perhaps, I told him, you have a grandfather or a grandmother; you probably think of them as old. At one time, however, they were just as young as you are. Now the years have passed, and they have grown old. But God isn't like that. He doesn't change, nor does He grow old and weak.

Why is this important? Because this means you can trust God with your life. He won't die or grow weak or forgetful; He loves you, and He is always there to take care of you. That's an important truth, whatever our age!
