Taking stock of time

One of the most difficult spiritual concepts -- at least for me! -- is that, if God created time and space, then he must operate outside the bounds of how we perceive time and space. This sobering thought, in turn, requires us to approach God with extreme humility.

Focusing specifically on our inability to process "spiritual time," Psalm 90:4 (KJV) states,

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

Verse 12 of the same Psalm states,

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Together, these verses imply that, not only is our time limited, but our time is impossible for us to completely understand! The only thing to do is following the advice of verse 12 and pray for spiritual wisdom.
