From Everlasting to Everlasting
"...Stand up and praise the Lord your God, who is from everlasting to everlasting." Neh. 9:5
El Olam is
the Everlasting God who is eternal, from “everlasting to everlasting” according to Nehemiah and also referenced in Psalm 90:2. He is God always, without end,
who reveals what is concealed in His timing.
When Abraham made a covenant with Abimilech, according to Genesis 21:33:
“Then Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there called on the
name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.”
God’s perspective is an eternal perspective.
The prophet Isaiah writes that God is our Everlasting Father. We can take great comfort in knowing God won't go away, disappear, or vanish. He is eternal, everlasting, and immanent. There is nothing the Lord does not see, hear, or understand. God makes known the end from the beginning. He is our Loving Daddy with staying power!
If God is everlasting, then He surely sees us and knows our struggles. He is present, real, active, and wants to be invited into our lives. So let's join with the Israelites of Nehemiah's day and stand up, praise the Lord our God and call out to the One who is from Everlasting to Everlasting!
