2 Before the mountains were born,
before you gave birth to the earth and the world,
from eternity to eternity, you are God. (Psalm 90.2 CSB)
It is interesting when we begin to think about the three universal dimensions and add a forth, time, to that equation. I have always been fascinated by things like this. If you take it further and do any real reading and you find theories of 10, 11, 24 and 26 dimensions.
God has really only one; eternity to eternity.
We exist in really two, time and space. We take up space and we use up time.
Time is easy, we only use it up. All your money won’t another minute buy, thus we should be spending it wisely.
Space is quite a different story. The space we take up can expand or contract in many ways. There is, of course, the actual physical space our bodies take up. And that expands and contracts, mostly expands for me. We also take up space in other ways as well. We have a sphere of influence that we exude in a spiritual, personal and business sense. This too expands and contracts with many factors in our lives influencing just how influential we are at any given time.
But our use of time and space too should not be taken lightly. God has given us eternity that lives within us through the Spirit. Thus, we should be using our time to create a space for us to influence others for God in the light of eternity. Read that again. Using Time, to create Space for Eternity. That is a profound responsibility and one we should not take lightly and should strive to live up to daily.
