Imagine.........

What has God been up to for so long?

God has been around forever. "Forever" is not an easy word to measure, so if one had to quantify it in terms of numbers that mean something to us, could one say for anything between many, many millions of years to millions of millenia and beyond?

Yet man was created only around 6,000 years ago. In terms of God's history, that's hardly a wink in time - and ever so recently, at that. So what has He been doing for all that time before Mankind was created on Earth?

It's pretty mind-boggling, isn't it? He is creative,  He is busy and He doesn't tire - so he must have been busy then too. My only point is this:

There must be so much more out there than we can ever imagine! So just imagine, if you will, how much we can look forward to being a part of ....one day!

If one considers how short our six thousand years must be in God's experience of time, and how much must be out there, it must surely alter, in some way, our perception of our time on Earth in terms of the big picture.

We seem to endure our sufferings endlessly; but let us take heart in our vision of the big picture and endure what seems to take forever with a little more courage. Hang in there, be brave, keep up the faith. It's easier said than done, but this suffering will end - and what lies beyond is really so much more than we can imagine.
