Time

"We're trapped in time. We can only move forward. Not to the right, to the left, or backward. What if there's a being who sees it all...beginning, middle, end? What if there's a being who can walk around time, see time, all of time? God is not trapped in time as we are. He stands outside of it. He IS existence in its purest form. He transcends time and space. He is Spirit. The "I am." Rob Bell said this in his sermon entitled "Everything is Spiritual." He held out a marker to be like a time line. We can only move forward, and can only see backward. But think about it. God sees it all. The past, present, and future. It's interesting how sometimes I feel stuck. Not sure where to go next, unsure about my next step. Yet I've got the One on my side who sees it all. He knows what's coming. He knows what my next step is to be. And He's my best friend. Why wouldn't He show me where to go? It should be easier to trust. We're stuck, but God is not.

God help me remember that all of time is in your hands. And when I see only tunnel vision, you see the panorama...
