Timeless

Think of some things that are timeless, things unaffected by time.  Certainly not our hair -- the color fades and it falls out. Neither is our eyesight timeless -- we eventually need reading glasses. Photographs are sometimes referred to as timeless, but even they fade with time.  What about memories?  Well, the older versions of us even forget the memories. You see, timelessness is pretty rare.

 

Isn't it great to know, however, God is timeless!  The Hebrew word for God is "Elohim," and it appears in the very first sentence of the Bible. He's the One Who began it all. He was there when everything began and will be there when everything ends. Elohim is not flawed like you and I, time has no effect on Him.  Isaiah wrote, "Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the Everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth." (40:28-29).  In this world of constant change, it is good we are rooted in One Who is unchanging and timeless. Elohim is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is The Steady in unsteadiness, The Anchor in troubled waters, The Rock in shifting sands. He is Timeless.
