El Olam, the everlasting God, the God of eternity, the God of the universe, the God of ancient days. Our everlasting God is free from all constraints of time. He is the alpha and omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. He is the God for whom one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years are like one day. Our God contains within Himself the very nature of time itself.
God’s everlasting love is promised throughout eternity. Because God is everlasting, God’s plans stand firm forever and are constant from generation to generation. While our lives may be short, El Olam has put a sense of eternity in our minds. We can fully trust in His promises and rely on His everlasting love because the plans of El Olam hold firm forever.
Our Scripture reflection is from Isaiah 40:27-31:
Why do you complain, Jacob? Why do you say, Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord; my cause is disregarded by my God” Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength They will soar on wings like eagles they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
