Good Morning Friends,
“Lord, you have been our dwelling place
throughout all generations. Before the mountains
were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to
everlasting you are God. You turn men
back to dust, saying, ‘Return to dust, O sons of men.’ For a thousand years in your sight are like a
day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.” (Psalm 90:1-4)
Have you ever considered how long God has
been around? He loved your
great-grandfather and offered salvation to him.
My great-grandfather was a war baby.
He was born shortly after the war ended – the Civil War. And God was around then, loving him and
offering salvation to him. When your
mother was born, God was there watching, pleased that a new child had entered
His world. And long before your family
even had a name, God was there and knew the generations that would come.
When John Hancock put his name on the
Declaration of Independence, and He knew then what this nation would become. When Orville and Wilbur first lifted off in
flight, God was there, and knew jet planes would follow soon!
He watched with pleasure as Paul slept in the
Roman prison, knowing there was a servant who would be faithful even unto
death. He wept with David’s first glance
over toward Bathsheba’s house, knowing what sin David’s desire would birth.
For generation after generation, God has been
there, never changing, ever loving, ever wooing men and women into relationship
with Himself. And all the time, He was
God, Almighty, invincible, eternal, King of all creation and all time.
And forever, He’ll still be there. And He’ll still love you!
His, by Grace,
Steve
