Bible in a Year : Leviticus 23-24, Mark 1:1-22

Before the mountains were born . . . from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
Psalm 90:2

Today's Scripture & Insight : Psalm 90:1-6

After another health setback, I feared the unknown and uncontrollable. One day, while reading a Forbes magazine article, I learned that scientists studied the rising of the "Earth's rotation velocity" and declared that the Earth "wobbled" and is "spinning faster." They said we "could require the first-ever ‘drop second'—the official removal of a second from global time." Though a second doesn't seem like much of a loss, knowing that the Earth's rotation could change seemed like a big deal to me. Even slight instability can make my faith feel wobbly. However, knowing God is in control helps me to trust Him no matter how scary our unknowns or how shaky our circumstances may seem.

In Psalm 90, Moses said, "Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God" (v. 2). Acknowledging God's unlimited power, control, and authority over all creation, Moses declared that time cannot constrain God (vv. 3-6).

As we seek to know more about God and the wonderful world He made, we'll discover how He continues perfectly managing time and all He created. God can be trusted with every unknown and newly discovered thing in our lives too. All creation remains secure in God's loving hands.
