Kidzablaze Devotions

God is infinite. It’s hard for us, with our limited human minds, to imagine exactly what that means, but pondering God’s greatness is important. His love is immeasurable. And He is boundless in righteousness, mercy, and justice. Time and space cannot contain Him.

There’s nowhere we can go that is out of His reach. As believers, we are forever connected to the Father because He is eternal. He calls Himself the Alpha and Omega, which means the beginning and the end. When time and space began, He was the one who created it. And when it ends, He will still be there. He is the one “who is and who was and who is to come” (Revelation 1:8). This was a revolutionary concept for the crowd of Jews to whom Christ announced, “Before Abraham was born, I am” (John 8:58). They understood that Jesus, in saying He was one with Yahweh (the name of God, which means “I Am”), claimed to be eternal—and they attempted to kill Him for saying something they considered blasphemous (John 8:59).

Not only is God infinite and eternal; He is also unchanging (James 1:17). So much of what we believe is based upon this characteristic of God. We can trust in His promises because they never change and in His love because it never ends.

Psalm 139:7-12

7 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?

8 If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.

9 If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,

10 Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me.

11 If I say, ``Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night,"

12 Even the darkness is not dark to You, And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to You.
