We're concluding our study of the names of God today by taking a brief look at one more attribute of God's character. We turn our attention today to El Olam, the Everlasting God. Our God has no beginning, no end; He is not confined to time and space. Charles Spurgeon put it this way: "God was, when man was not." Even before the universe came into being, God was. How awesome is that thought?!!
Today I just want to point you to a couple of Scripture references for you to consider, to ponder, to meditate on. You might want to use your word study tools to find others. But let this truth wash over you today.....our God is El Olam, the Everlasting God!
Isaiah 40:28......."Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable."
Psalm 90:1-2....."LORD, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were born, or You gave birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God."
Daniel 11:32b tells us that "the people who know their God will display strength and take action." I hope that these weeks together studying the names of God have helped you to know God better, and that as a result you have been strengthened, that you will live in light of what you have learned, and that you will always know that His name is a "strong tower" to which you can run.
And so this journey comes to an end. A new journey begins next week. I hope you'll journey with me! Until then......
"To Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen." (Jude 24-25)
