Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. . . .For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by or like a watch in the night. —Psalm 90:2 & 4.
So many things about our lives are uncertain. This one thing, however, is sure: no matter where, when, or how long, God will be there and will be with us and will be for us. He is the “I AM”—the one “who is, and who was, and who is to come”—of every past, present, and future moment (Revelation 1:8). He will not forsake us (Hebrews 13:5-6). We will never be separated from his love for us in Jesus (Romans 8:38-39). Because God existed before anything was made (John 1:1-3), we can trust he will be with us when this form of creation ends and when he ushers us into our eternal home with him forever. Hold fast, dear child of the eternal God; our Father has all of us, his children, in his “everlasting arms” (Deuteronomy 33:27-28).
