Psalm 90 speaks of the LORD God as eternal, timeless and merciful. This is a Psalm written by Moses.
V1-2 "LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God."
For the believer, the Lord is our dwelling place. We are to set our affection on things above, not on things on the earth (Col 3:2) The believers true dwelling place is heaven. We are just pilgrims passing through this world. V2 speaks of God the creator. He was from everlasting and will be to everlasting, the Sovereign eternal God.
V4 .".a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night."
How can the human mind comprehend this? we cannot. To me this is why it is impossible to try and put current events into God's timetable (as it is the manner of some to do) because we cannot know where we are in God's timetable as it were.

God's Faithfulness in Little Things
Jonah 1:17 "Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah...
Jonah 2:10 "And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited Jonah upon the dry land." (KJV)
I love the story of Jonah for showing our Sovereign God in control of everything. Because of God's control, I am in the habit of praying for needs that some might find a little strange. Such was my prayer for today.
For the past 15 years I have been taking care of my son and his family's cats when they are on vacation, going to their home every other day, leaving enough food and water to last, always seems to be more food than necessary. There have been several cats over the years, and they have two right now, a 6 year old and a 6 month old. The 6 year old has always been a wild child, wanting to be outside since she was a kitten. I am sure that she has spent more time out than in. When they are away she stays in the house where she is not very pleased to be in. She is always ready to be fed and then cries mournfully, begging to be let out but alas, in she stays until my son and his family are home again.
Yesterday my son, daughter-in-law and grandaughter left for a week away, and this is the first time that the 6 year old cat did not come into the house by the time for them to leave. The kitten was taken to a kennel to avoid conflict between the two of them home alone together should the older cat come in.
This morning I received two text messages saying that the cat was out, that the neighbour was going to try and bring her in, and could I come this evening to feed if the neighbour was able to catch her. I said that I would and that if she was not in the house I would leave food and water outside for her. And then I prayed "Lord, please bring Misty home, In Jesus name I pray, believing that with you all things shall be possible."
