For a thousand years in Your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night. (Psalm 90:4 ESV)
Calendars
We just celebrated National New Calendar Day. It seems that new years, new months, new days, new calendars are of the utmost importance.
But not to God. Our observation of the passage of days, and our elevation of the importance of such events is a focus on the finite, mortal, and selfish.
And it makes sense. We live in calendars. We live in days. We live in months. We live in years.
And such life can be daunting. Knowing our days and counting them leads to an awareness of the limitation of such things.
But we have Jesus.
And while He did dwell here among the calendars, He also dwells eternally where such measurements have no meaning.
When our calendars cause despair, talk to the One who laughs at calendars and calls them minute.
We are presently stuck in time, but Jesus is not.
