I am trying to wrap a part of my brain around a bit of A.W. Tozer. For me, he is one of those writers that, when I first begin to read, I think "Better slow down with this" and take what he knows very slowly - kind of like chewing on a really tender piece of "pink in the middle" filet mignon.
This is what I was trying to digest:
"The mind looks backward in time till the dim past vanishes then turns and looks into the future till thought and imagination collapse from exhaustion; and God is at both points, unaffected by either."
It is from a chapter trying to shed more light on the thought of the Eternity of God.
It comforted me.
To think that the God who loves me knows the past and the future and is "unaffected" means, to me, that His Love covers it. If His love covers it, what concerns do I really have? Really? Do I have any?
The chapter goes on to say "He sees the end and the beginning in one view." And, later on I quote "For NOW and THEN coincide in the circle of the wall of Paradise."
Now, that says it all!
Okay - so as my mind spins, trying to focus on what I can grasp of this - I know this much -
God knows each day of my life - and yours - and He promises He will never leave nor forsake us!
It seems to me to be a little bit like taking someone to a movie I have already seen - and, if they get concerned during a scene, I gently whisper in their ear "It is okay. I know how it turns out - don't be concerned."
Wow, can I sleep in peace. He has already seen the movie.
Have a blessed night's sleep.
