Tuesday, May 21

Are you not from everlasting, O Jehovah? O my God, my Holy One, you do not die.—Hab. 1:12.

 

Do you find it difficult to grasp the idea that Jehovah has existed “for all eternity”? (Isa. 40:28) That is not unusual. Elihu said of God: “The number of his years is beyond comprehension.” (Job 36:26) But just because we do not understand something does not mean that it is untrue. For example, though we may not understand fully how light works, does this mean that light does not exist? Not at all! Similarly, we humans may never fully comprehend how it is that Jehovah has always existed and will always exist. But this does not mean that God does not live eternally. The Creator is not limited by what we can or cannot understand. (Rom. 11:33-36) And he existed before the material universe—including light sources such as the sun—came to be. Yes, he existed before he “stretched out the heavens.”—Jer. 51:15. w22.12 2-3 ¶3-4
