A thousand years to you [God] are like one day; they are like yesterday, already gone, like a short hour in the night.
(Psalm 90:4 GNT)
We are concerned about what to do in our day, many timers down to the minute. We lay out our schedules and expect everything to run smoothly.
Psalm 90:4 tells us that God has time under control. God does not see time in the same way as us. He sees all of history in a single moment. In contrast, our individual lives are a very small part in the whole scheme of things.
We should not be frustrated when things are not happening fast enough for us. God’s timing is always perfect. And as believers, we can look forward to spending eternity with the One who holds time in His hands.
"God hath given to man a short time here upon earth,
and yet upon this short time eternity depends."
