Unnumbered Days

Have you ever thought about how widely we number things: streets and highways, store aisles, clothes and shoe sizes, even people are numbered. At this point, I suppose life would be quite complicated without a numbering system. 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 fully 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." How intriguing that I was known [by The Creator] before I was otherwise known! It's hard to imagine, but time will cease one day. In light of eternity (the forever) the relevancy of time will no longer 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 by a clock, to never again consider time? One day there will only be endlessness, timelessness, unceasing an unceasing moment. Forever dedicated to the one task of praising The One throughout the ... unnumbered days.
