“Before the mountains were born… from time immemorial and forever – You are God!” — Psalm 89:2

After another health problem, I felt fear of the unknown and uncontrollable. Once, while reading an article in the magazine “Forbes”, I learned that scientists had studied the increase in the “speed of rotation of the Earth” and declared that the Earth had “wobbled” and was “rotating faster.” They said that we “may need, for the first time in history, a second drop, that is, the official removal of a second from world time.” While a second doesn’t seem like much of a waste, realizing that the Earth’s rotation could change seemed like a big deal to me. Even a little instability can shake my faith. However, knowing that God is in control helps me to trust Him no matter how scary or shaky our circumstances may be.

In Psalm 89, Moses said: “Before the mountains were born, and while you created the earth and the world, you are God forever and ever!” (v. 2). Realizing God’s unlimited power, control, and authority over the entire world, Moses said that time cannot limit God (vv. 3-6).

As we seek to learn more about the Lord and the wonderful world He has created, we learn that He is still in perfect control of time and all creation. God can be trusted in everything that is unknown or new to us in life. All creation remains safe in God’s loving hands.

How does understanding that God is in control of time and all of creation help you trust Him when you face the unknown in life? How can you glorify God with the time He has given you?

Immutable Creator, thank you for keeping every second of my life in Your safe hands.
