Our Everlasting God
In Isaiah 40:28, we see that God is eternal. He is everlasting. God is the same today as He was a thousand years ago and will be a thousand years from today. This is an incredibly comforting truth that God will always be the same loving and dependable God He’s always been.
We never have to worry that God will act differently than what we learn about Him in Scripture. The same God who created the heavens and the earth is the same God who loves and cares for you today.
Because God is eternal, He knows the beginning and the end. Therefore, we can trust Him in the midst of our journey, that He knows what He is doing, and that all things will work out for His good.
Take a moment to consider how great God is. Thank Him for being faithful, just, and merciful. Thank Him for being our Savior, Creator, and King. Worship Him in awe for being eternal and all-knowing.
