Who Is God? Part 12

The eternal God is your refuge,
And underneath are the everlasting arms;
He will thrust out the enemy from before you,
And will say, ‘Destroy!'   Deuteronomy 33:27

We might hold ourselves as having some small understanding in some aspects of our Lord God, but then come words such as, eternal, everlasting, and forever. How does one who might live a century understand one who has been from everlasting and lives to eternity? There are some illustrations using a bird and grains of sand, or an ocean of water molecules moved one at a time, but my mind runs quickly into a limitation when large numbers are involved running out to infinity. What we can gain from this is the assurance of stability. Rome wasn't built in a day, but its days were numbered, and it is no more. Not so with God, who will be forevermore and is with us now and loves us. The eternal God who loves you and me will never leave us nor forsake us.

Rejoicing in Christ for eternity, sounds like a long time!
