Psalm 90:4: "For a thousand years in Your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night."
This concept reaches the very limits of language and thought, but it forces an inescapable conclusion: God's concept of time is not like ours. Humans are temporal beings. We are constrained to the constructs of time and space. It takes a great strain of thought, therefore, to consider any concept of eternity. We are, as stated, intimately tied to now, to the present moment.
Because He is eternal, God lives every moment that has occurred and every moment that will occur as the present. Acknowledging this reality is one of the sweet truths of Christianity for if we recognize that God sees everything past and future presently, then we can easily see how we rest our faith upon His sureness. Let us then always remember this when we pray to God for our future, because to God, the future already is.
