Visiting old friends, I greeted the two little creatures with big smile. "Next time you come already added another one," said his wife's friend pointing me in the stomach while laughing. Amazing. That was not there now exist. Was small so big. Originally could not nothing can learn speak out and behaving a lot. From a height of 28 floor flats which they lived, I treated to sights that are not less amazing: a smorgasbord of berselimut city in the mist and the morning light bathed at night. Wow!
How did menakjubkannya, all we see every day is there first. Was not there, then be there. Not so with God. The Creator. "I am the former," the word of him (v. 6). In Hebrew: ri'shon. The First One. The Beginning. That existed before everything is there. He's never not there. He's making, forming, and set up his creation (vv. 2-4). The past and future are present in his power (vv. 7-8).

Only to the person who says, we can rely on the full and live life with no trepidation. -ELS
