The Flesh Is Temporary

DAY 2 OF 3

Time Was Framed By Him.

“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11:3‬ ‭KJV

According to Strong’s Concordance, the Greek word for “Worlds” is, ‘aiōn’ (G165) which means, “Period of time or age.” Time itself was created by God. The ages of the world, were framed by Him. God controls time. He holds eternity in His hands. “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.” Psalms‬ ‭90:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬. From everlasting to everlasting, God remains the same. He rules, He reigns, He has dominion forever. Your problem isn’t bigger than God. Your circumstance isn’t too great for God to handle. Cast your cares, worries, concerns, and desires to Him. 1 Peter‬ ‭5:7‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

Heaven and Earth bows to God. Time is under His Authority. Everything and everyone belongs to Him. Psalms‬ ‭24:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” ‭‭The resources of the Earth belong to Him. Favor is in His hands. Power is in His hands. Authority is in His hands. Influence is in His hands. ‭‭Daniel‬ ‭2:21‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:” “Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭66:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬.

God is in control. Surrender to His Way. Surrender to His Word. Let His Word shape, guide, and lead your path. Let His Word frame your life. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55:9‬ ‭KJV‬‬. Jeremiah‬ ‭29:11‬ ‭NLT‬‬ declares, “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
