… but you, O LORD, are on high forever.

Psalm 92:8

How long is forever?

There is an old joke that says forever depends on which side of the bathroom door you are standing on. Anyone who had to share a bathroom with siblings growing up knows that is not really a joke.

I know the Lord has been and is with me during my earthly life. He gave me a loving family who taught me about Him. He comforted me at the passing of my parents and others I love. He gave me a career that I loved. He held my hand and provided God-fearing doctors to me as I battled cancer. He has blessed me every day of this life.

I do not really need to understand the length of forever. I know I will be with Him, because He said so. And, He has taught me that His promises are trustworthy.

Father, thank You for the peace that comes from knowing Your promises to be true. Amen.

Reflect: Give thanks for the promises God has given to you.
