GOD IS NOT BECOMING

  GOD IS NOT BECOMING

 

Around the Year with Emmet Fox

 

May 15

 

God is infinite perfection and he is not concerned

with our limited ideas

about time and space and matter.

 

“For thus saith the high and lofty One

that inhabiteth eternity,

whose name is Holy;

I dwell in the high and holy place,

with him also that is of contrite

and humble spirit,

to revive the spirit of the humble,

and to revive the heart of the contrite ones”

Isaiah 57:15

 

God is not progressing or improving.

What improves is our understanding of Him,

and as this happens all our conditions

 necessarily improve too.

There never was a time in your history

when God was not all that He is today,

and there never can come a time

when God will be any more than He is today.

God is continually expressing Himself in new ways—

but this is not improvement; it is unfoldment.

Your life is simply part of this unfoldment,

and that is the only reason for your existence at all.

You are the living expression of God now—

and to understand this is salvation.
