Returning to the God Who Alone Is Worthy of Praise
“Before the mountains were born or You brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting You are God.”
— Psalm 90:2 (NIV)
Everything we see has a shelf life.
People age. Flowers wilt. Cities rise and crumble. Headlines fade. Even the things we build with passion and purpose won’t last forever. In a world consumed by the temporary, we try to hold on tightly—but even our best efforts can’t escape the slow erosion of time.
And yet, there is One untouched by decay.
One whose existence never began and will never end.
One whose glory never dims and whose promises never expire.
He is the Only Perpetual.
Devotional Insight
Moses prayed these words in Psalm 90, reflecting on the frailty of human life compared to the unshakable, eternal nature of God. While we are “like the new grass that springs up in the morning and by evening it is dry and withered” (v.6), God is forever.
Perpetual doesn’t just mean endless—it means outside of time.
God doesn’t grow older. He doesn’t change. He isn’t bound by history or future. He simply is.
And the breathtaking truth is this: the Perpetual One has chosen to dwell within the finite.
God steps into our timeline with His perpetual love.
God meets our moments with His unshifting presence.
And when everything else fades, God remains.
This truth gives us an anchor in our uncertainty and an inheritance that will never spoil or fade (1 Peter 1:4). It calls us to live not for the fleeting, but for the perpetual.
Reflection Question
Are you investing more in what is temporary or what is perpetual?
How does the perpetual nature of God reshape your perspective today?
Prayer Prompt
Dear God, I am in awe of Your Perpetualness. You were before the beginning, and You will be long after the end. Thank You for being my constant in a world of change. Teach me to live for what lasts—strengthen me to live from within Heaven not merely towards. Help me place my trust, my hope, and my future within You alone. Amen.
