Read Genesis 1:1

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

In America, we measure ancient in hundreds of years. In Jordan and Israel they measure ancient in thousands of years. This stone carving at Petra dates back to before the time of Jesus. Although wind, rain and time has worked to erode the stone, many details of the carvings are just as vivid today as they were when they were made.

Not far from this spot both nature and human hands have destroyed some of the ancient works.

It reminds me that with God there is no beginning or end. God always was and always will be. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. There is nothing that can change or destroy God.

We can put our full faith and trust in God.
