The Devouring Beast

Have you thought recently about God in relation to time? Read this excerpt from Tozer in the Knowledge of the Holy:

How completely satisfying it is to turn from our limitations to a God who has none. Eternal years lie in His heart. For Him time does not pass, it remains and those who are in Christ share with Him all the riches of limitless time and endless years. God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which he must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves. For those outside of Christ, time is a devouring beast; before the sons of the new creation time crouches and purrs and licks their hands. The foe of the old human race becomes the friend of the new, and the stars in their courses fight for the man God delights to honor. This we may learn from the divine infinitude.
