My God Has No Time

This week has been exceptionally busy for me. It was the kick off to the first week of a youth group I'm starting at the church, so there was tons to be doing to get ready for that. It was full of Bible studies and things like that, along with the usual shadowing of the pastor. All this week I could not concentrate on one thing, while I was working on one thing, I was also thinking about what was next or wondering what else needed to be done. So it was almost discouraging to realize that as we go through our lives, we as humans, lack the ability to ever give our full focus on one thing at a time. Because if you think about it, while you are working on something or watching TV or whatever it is your doing. Somewhere in your mind, whether in the front or the back, there is an idea floating around about what's next or just general wonderings.
It was comforting however, to remember that time, is a human barrier that our God is not trapped by. God is out side of time, he is in eternity, and because of that fact, God never has to think about what is next or anything like that. In fact, what God has instead of time is focus. Focus on me, and focus on you, and focus on every living creature. So what does that mean? It means, that at any given moment in time you, and I have God's undivided attention. He is paying specific attention to us individually as we go through our lives. God created time for us, not for Him. Our God isn't a God that has time, he is a God that has eternity, there is not beginning and not end to eternity, there is just eternity. Isn't that hard to think about though? The concept of forever? It's what God has, and it is something that we wont understand until we our with Him. But one thing we can take comfort in, is the fact that no matter how busy we are, God has his eye specifically focused on you and me. Individually.
