Psalm 102
This psalm has several images that remind me of the timeless nature of God:
" Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet to be created may praise the LORD:
that he looked down from his holy height; from heaven the LORD looked at the earth, to hear the groans of the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to die, that they may declare in Zion the name of the LORD, and in Jerusalem his praise, when peoples gather together, and kingdoms, to worship the LORD." -Psalm 102:18-22
There is something so encouraging to me when I think upon the timeless nature of Him and His word. Generations are united in our praise of Him. The Bible, God's word, connects us across time that we might be inspired to praise him in an unbroken chain.
"Of old you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away, but you are the same, and your years have no end." -Psalm 102:25-27
Hard to grasp that the earth itself is ephemeral, that to Him our solid, seemingly slow changing structures can be gone in a moment. This ephemeral nature of life is frustrating and unsettling to us. For me, it prompts me to latch unto Him who is unchanging.
