Psalm 90:1 – “LORD, You have been (not past tense in the sense of no longer but as in Perpetual continuation) our eternal home, our hiding place from generation to generation.”

As I read, prayed, and pondered, Psalm 90:1 grabbed my heart powerfully. The thought flooded my heart—God is eternal. We hear that and, in a measure, believe it. Yet we keep defining God, His Ways, and His Acts in the human element of time constraints.

Psalm 90:4 -“One thousand years pass before Your eyes like yesterday that quickly faded away, like a night’s sleep soon forgotten.”  

The timelessness of God always conflicts with mankind’s time consciousness.   This God, the Creator, who knows Everything, devotes Himself to us.  He is so gracious.  Those of Covenant felt comfortable praying Psalm 90:14-15 – “…only You can satisfy our hearts… 15 We have been overwhelmed with grief; come now and overwhelm us with gladness.  Replace our years of trouble with decades of delight.”   That is a Wow! 

We are sometimes overwhelmed by the bad, and they expected the Lord to overwhelm us with gladness now!   Replace every tear of sorrow with the laughter of life!  Psalm 91 should become a daily meditation for God’s Covenant people.  

Psalm 92:1 unveils the New Testament principle of overcoming and defeating doubt and being down.   We are to come to God with “Uncontainable Praise” spills from our hearts.  Not manufactured and phony attempts to manipulate but the overflow of the heart!

The ageless God reminds us that age is inconsequential to Him.  We don’t have to wither into obscurity.   Psalm 92:13-14 – “You’ve transplanted them into Your heavenly courtyard, where they are thriving before You.  14 For in Your presence, they will still overflow and be anointed. EVEN IN their old age, they will stay FRESH, bearing luscious fruit AND abiding faithfully.”

I love the rendering of Psalm 94:8-13.   God isn’t hard of hearing…isn’t blind, and is watching.  He fully examines our thoughts and sees their limitedness.   When God reveals His ways and word, we are overwhelmed by Blessing.

The ageless, timeless Creator is invested in our time.  As Psalm 94:19 declares, we sometimes let our thoughts get out of control, but God’s soothing presence brings calm and peace, giving clarity and overflowing joy.   What is the answer to life’s problems?  Psalm 95:7-9.  Drop Everything else and Listen to His Voice. 

God’s timelessness is only problematic if we insist on schedules and deadlines.   If we trust Him, truly trust Him – time is not a factor.  Read Hebrews 11 again.

God has and is setting doors, pathways, and choices before us today.   His way to total surrender is the doorway to His heavenly courtyard and flourishing.  

Look up and rejoice—help is on the way and here! Have a fantastic day in Jesus, and remember that the Trumpet is coming soon, very soon!
