I once heard a question a long time ago asking, "where was God before the creation of the world and the universe?" The answer to that is simple: God just existed with Himself. God does not have a beginning and an end. Isaiah 40:28, it says, “Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding.” Since our God is an everlasting (eternal) God, He acts outside of our time. When the prophet Micah prophesied that our Lord Jesus Christ would be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2) more than 700 years before it happened, God proves that He is an eternal God. Everything that He does is according to His eternal purpose, which is why He is always on time.
Every time He answers our prayer, He answers them according to His eternal plan in our lives. Although there are times that we feel that God is slow in answering our prayers, God is never slow or late. He is always on time because He works outside of our time. We need to continue to trust the Lord because He is an eternal God. He knows our future. God is not surprised by everything that is going on around us today. He already knows what will happen in the future.
Since our God is eternal, we always have hope. Our God has no end. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). Remember that all His promises to us are eternal, and He is going to fulfill all of them, so be encouraged today.
Ask yourself these questions: knowing that God is eternal, how does it affect my current situation? If God is eternal, should I worry about tomorrow? Why?
Write down all the worries that you are facing today and lift them up to God.
Prayer:
Father in Heaven, thank you that you are eternal God. I will always have hope because you are always with me. My future is in your hand, and you will never let me go. Thank you for everything. Please help me now with (mention your prayer requests). In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
