Time itself in His Hands

"How completely satisfying to turn from our limitations to a God who has none. Eternal years lie in His heart.For Him time does not pass it remains; and those who are in Christ share with Him all the riches of limitless time and endless years. God never hurries. That are no deadlines against which He must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves.. For those out of Christ, time is a devouring beast;before the sons of the new creation time crouches and purrs and licks their hands. The foe of the old human race becomes the friend of the new, and the stars in their courses fight for the man God delights to honor. This we may learn from the divine infinitude"

A.W. Tozer

I was in discipleship today and we read the above quote and my heart soul and mind were taken a back by this God. This God who holds time itself in His hands. This God who can hold the sun in the sky until the battle or the labor is done.

As an architecture major I am told constantly by my fellow students that there is no way to go through this major without pulling an all nighter. There is no way to do all the things God is calling me to do and step out of faith in and do it with excellence. There is no way...there is not enough time. BUT, as I continue to see how God can sustain me, I am compelled to say "no." I am compelled to pray

"Everlasting God How you cease from being weary and tired. I gifted by thy self, thou in me dwelling the God who has time itself in His hands, impart on me the knowledge of what I have been given and the strength I am entitled to."

I was up for 21 hours straight yesterday and I did not grow tired and weak because of what isaiah 40:28-31 declares about God. I was able to work effeciently because of Him who sustains me.

When we forget the character of the true God things will overwhlem. If we truly believe that God is who He says He is the shortsightedness will cease and we will begin to see that he has made " the rough ground a plain...and lifted the valley."

We have God living inside of us. We best learn to acknowledge He is inside, and learn to live more by Him and less by us.

He holds time itself in His hands...

"Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves For those out of Christ, time is a devouring beast;before the sons of the new creation time crouches and purrs and licks their hands. The foe of the old human race becomes the friend of the new, and the stars in their courses fight for the man God delights to honor."
