In Isaiah 46, the prophet reminds the people that God is unique in the universe.
No one compares to Him.
Isaiah 46:9 (NRSVue) - remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like me,
At the beginning of Revelation, John concludes his introduction.
Revelation 1:8 – (NRSVue) - I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
Aside from God, everyone and everything is finite.
We are born, we live, and we die.
Even the churches of Earth are finite.
God existed long before human beings were created.
God existed long before the first church buildings were constructed.
Our lives, in fact, all recorded history pales in comparison to Eternal God.
Our lives on earth are certainly brief by comparison,
But God gives each of us this moment in time to flourish.
How much time each of us has here is not important.
What we do with the time God grants us is.
And we really do not begin to truly live until we fix our gaze upon the Eternal God.
When we seek to please God our lives flourish,
We cease surviving.
We begin living,
Blessings,
