Unimaginable

Have you ever thought about how many things we number? Streets and highways, store aisles, shoe and shirt sizes, even people are numbered. I don't know, perhaps numbers helps our move-through-life easier. The word "ever" occurs some 476 times in Scripture, and it means "the perpetuity of time, an unbroken age." As finite beings, I’m not so sure any of us can grasp the concept of forever. Psalm 139:16 says, "Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them." It's unimaginable we were known [by the Creator] before we were otherwise known! It's also hard to imagine that one day time will cease. In light of eternity, time won't be … relevant. In the Apostle Peter’s words, “to God be glory now and forever." (2 Peter 3:18). We mustn’t forget to God be glory now but what will it be like to never again gauge the present moment by a clock? To never ponder time in relation to what we’re doing or where we’ll be? There’s only endless-ness, timeless-ness, unceasing-ness. No more multi-tasking, the forever dedicated to being present and in praise of The One Who paid our sin debt. No, I can’t really imagine it but that’s how it’s going to be for the Redeemed (the blood-bought ones) in those unnumbered forever days. Hope to see you there!
