Attributes: Eternal

(Psa 41:13 KJV)  Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

(Proverbs 7 also read)

What is God like?  That is one of the trains of thought that guides my thinking each morning.  There are many statements, flat out.  There are many insinuations.  There are many indications.  Here we have a clear presentation of the fact that God is eternal.  Notice that phrase “everlasting to everlasting” (5769).

That means both ways.  It means eternally in the past.  He has no beginning.  It means eternally into the future.  He has no end.  We find ourselves right in the middle.  If you’ve ever done any thinking about the concept of infinity, you know that infinity multiplied by two is still infinity.  Infinity divided by two is still infinity.  It doesn’t make sense to my finite human mind.  It does make sense in regard to God.

So?  How does it feel being halfway through infinity your entire life?  These concepts are beyond us, but so is God.  The difference is that infinity is a concept in physics or math, or both, and God is a real living person who has reached out to us in the mist of His everlasting and drawn us into His eternity.  He will be there to escort us.
