--BEFORE THE BEGINNING/ BEFORE TIME BEGAN ~~

--(Please read Genesis 1)

------
'O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.' (John 17:5)

--So, what was happening in the eons before "God created the heavens and earth"? (Genesis 1:1 ). For one thing, we know that there was "wisdom" before creation itself, which came from God's character. Wisdom, personified in Proverbs 8:23, said, "I have been established from everlasting, from the beginning, before there was ever an earth."

Also, we know that God's salvation plan of grace was in the works before the world was hung in its place. In 2 Timothy 1:9, we read that grace "was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began." Likewise, Titus 1:2 says tht eternal life was promised "before time began." We also know that Jesus was glorified and loved in God's presence "before the world was" (John 17:5, see also v.24).

These tiny glimpses of God before He created the earth help us see a little of the essesnce and magnitude of our awesome, eternal God. We see His majesty and greatness. Amazing, isn't it? We worship a God who existed from the beginning...and beyond.~~

'Great God of the universe, we stand amazed that You are the Alpha and Omega--the Beginning and the End--and so much more. Thank You that we can worship and magnify You.' ~~
