Have you ever overheard someone comment to another person
about something being timeless? It could be something like a hairstyle,
clothing, an architectural style, a book, a location, or even a person. In
essence that term means “Never-ending, unaffected by time.”
Revelation 1:8 (MSG) makes this comment: The
Master declares, “I’m A to Z. I’m the God Who is, the God Who was, and the God
about to arrive. I’m the Sovereign strong.”
Is
the Almighty dependable enough to handle all the affairs of your life?
Time travel will
always be an intriguing “what if” for me no matter whether its discovered in books
(see the post, “The Potential”), movies, or television. Lately, I’ve become
obsessed with a weekly high-octane drama, Timeless,
on Monday nights at 10pm on NBC.
My newest guilty pleasure follows the unlikely trio of a history professor (Lucy), a
scientist (Rufus), and a soldier (Wyatt) as they attempt to battle a master
criminal (Garcia) from altering the fabric of human history with potentially
catastrophic results.
A fabulous job is
done covering the information and costumes of the different historical periods presented
each week. These are the world events that have fashioned today’s culture. Besides,
Timeless being both the name of this incredible
show; I believe the historical information you will be taught will offer you
insights (into yourself).
This series keeps you connected to it by providing many
small details, which may be unknown. I’ve been both entertained (and educated) on
these historical events: the Hindenburg disaster (1937); the assassination of Abraham Lincoln (1865); the
atomic bomb testing in Las Vegas, NV (1962); and Nazi nuclear missile testing
in Germany (1944).
“You [can’t change] history, but you could get it right to start with. Do something
differently the first time around….”[i]
Heirlooms are valuable possessions that are
passed down from one generation (in a family) to another. Have you ever thought
of the details of your spirituality (and love for God) something to be passed
down by your descendant? Read the words that follow from Amy Grant’s song,
“Heirlooms.” What spiritual message do you get from these lyrics?
Verse One
Up in the attic
Down on my knees
Lifetimes of boxes
Timeless to me
Letters and photographs
Yellowed with years
Some bringing laughter
Some bringing tears
Chorus One
Time never changes
The memories, the faces of loved ones,
Who bring to me
All that I came from
And all that I live for
And all that I’m going to be
My precious family
Is more than an heirloom to me
Verse Two
Wisemen and shepherds
Down on their knees
Bringing their treasures
To lay at His feet
Who was this wonder
Baby yet King
Living and dying He gave life to me
Chorus Two
Time never changes
The memory, the moment
His love first pierced through me
Telling all that I came from
And all that I live for
And all that I’m going to be
My precious Savior is more
Than an heirloom to me
Tag
My
precious Jesus is more
Than
an heirloom to me
The
Heavenly Father will cherish you forever. This is a fact: “Know that love is truly timeless.” [ii]
