The Ancient of Days

December 6, 2004

Daniel 7:4 "I kept looking until thrones were placed and the Ancient of Days (God the Eternal Father) took his seat."

Psalm 90:2 "Before the mountains were brought forth or ever You had formed and given birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting You are God."

Eternal.  Eternity is a hard concept for humans to fully understand.  It is one we must accept by faith.  You are God - Eternal - You have no beginning and no ending.  How can this be?  I do not know, but I do choose to accept it and believe it because You have spoken it and You cannot lie. 

I can trust my short life-span to You in complete confidence that when this life on earth ends, it is really the beginning of a new life - eternal life in Your Holy presence.  Your Word says in Ephesians 1:4 "He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love."

This is an awesome truth that I often quote.  But when I ponder it, I am so humbled.  I feel your great eternal love.  you may be Ancient of Days but You are not old and decrepit.  You are eternal, young, vital, ageless.  Once again, you are the same yesterday, today, and forever.  (Hebrews 13:8). 

So be it - Amen!
