I'm not a scientist. I'm a nerd, and yet I cannot begin to sort out how old earth is. 6-10 thousand years. Several million. How old is older than dirt..
And yet all these ages are still younger than God. Though outside of time, He stood before them all.
I've been reading in Exodus these last few weeks, and it's interesting to see just how much God reveals about Himself without us even asking. Last night, I started reading about God giving the Israelites manna from heaven. Given to them new each morning from the dew of the ground. Just as Jesus taught the people to pray for 'daily' bread in the New Testament, God required the Israelites to come every morning for sustenance.
What else does God ask us to seek every morning (or whenever you wake). Himself! King David recalls numerous accounts of waking early in the morning crying out to God. Though God does not always ask us to come in a state of hysterics, He asks us to come always. To cognizantly come regularly.
It's so important to remember one important reality about God when studying the Bible - He doesn't change. We change. God is not confined to the Jewish man-made customs. Before He created blessed Israel, He still reached out to humanity with the same guidance. Guiding us all the while because He loves this world still.
