Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations. Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. You turn people back to dust, saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.” A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. (Psalm 90:1–4 NIV)

Today’s good question: “If God made Adam and Eve, then who made God?”

Assumption: everything that exists has a beginning.

No one made God.

“In the beginning, God created…” (Genesis 1:1 NIV)

A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. (Psalm 90:1–4 NIV)

Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations. Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. (Psalm 90:1–2 NIV)

Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” (Exodus 3:13 NIV)

“There may even have been a sense that to know a god’s name was to have some power to make the god respond.” -Richard Bauckham

God said to Moses, “I am who I am. (Exodus 3:14 NIV)

God is completely self-sufficient.

“This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’” (Exodus 3:14b NIV)

God commits himself to us.

The point: God does not need us, but he is overwhelmingly committed to us.
