I woke up this morning in a reflective and meditative frame of mind with Psalm 90:2 in my head: " Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting Thou art God." (I think in King James.) What a profound statement that is. It reflects the
greatness of God. He is eternal and He is pervasive in His universe. You can almost blow a circuit in your brain thinking about the greatness of God. Think about this: It takes the light from the North Star, the nearest star to Earth, traveling at the speed of light (186,000 plus miles per second) four years to reach us. When you look up into the night sky, though you don't know which ones, some of the stars that you see burned out hundreds, maybe thousands, of years ago, but the light just reached us. Now that means that the universe is very large. Since God is "from everlasting to everlasting" and since He is the creator and master of all of it, He is larger than His universe. That, my friends, is BIG! Now think about this: "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us." (John 1:14) The Word had been referred to earlier by John as God. This means that this God, who is greater than the universe, fitted Himself into the frame of a human being. Why? "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) It gets better. Through the Holy Spirit, and by faith in Him, He fits Himself into our mullygrubbing (sp) little lives. Doesn't that just blow your mind and thrill your soul? Bro. Joe
