Isaiah 40:28 - “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.”

No goal in this life is as important as our heavenly calling, which is to spend eternity with our Lord and to invite as many people as possible to the same glorious future. As C. S. Lewis wrote, “All that is not eternal is eternally useless.” (https://www.liftupjesus.com/what-does-eternity-really-mean/)

It matters not what men nor devils say or do. God continues steadfast in His plan and purpose. He is perpetual and never changes. With God there is "no variableness, neither shadow of turning" Jas.1:17. His foreknowledge is perfect. "Known unto God are all His works from the beginning of the ages" Acts 15:18. (https://www.tentmaker.org/articles/EternityExplained.html)

Eternity literally means “timelessness.”  It refers to the nonexistence of time.  God lives outside of time and is not limited by time.  Although the universe he created is in time, God is not.

A. W. Tozer comments, “Time marks the beginning of created existence, and because God never began to exist it can have no application to him.”  He continues, “Time is known to us by a succession of events.  It is the way we account for consecutive changes in the universe.”

Until next time, walk with the King & be a blessing.

In His Name & for His Glory,
