God is not restricted or affected by time as we are. He is both eternal and infinite while our existence on earth is brief and always in the process of decline. The issue is not the amount of time we have but how we, as God’s servants, use the time He has allotted to us. God’s timing is always perfect and it simply takes a little patience and a whole lot of faith, after which we discover just how great our God is. Man’s life apart from God results in death, but whatever is accomplished for His glory lasts for eternity. The solution to having a Happy New Year is to live daily for God’s approval with a constant view of eternity.
