Advent Devotion: December 9

Revelation 21:5-6

In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Hermione uses a device called a Time Turner.  It’s a gadget that allows her to manipulate time so that she can classes that happen at the same time of the day.  I know I’ve thought I’d love to have a Time Turner it would come in handy when I have a lot to do, but since Harry Potter is only a great book of fiction such things don’t exist. 

However we learn from these verses that God is like the ultimate Time Turner, the Bible says he’s the beginning and the end, the first and the last.  It’s impossible for us to understand it but God exists outside of time, he didn’t have a beginning and he doesn’t have an end.  God created time to help us understand how the world works. 

Activity: Make a homemade Sun Dial, these were some of the first clocks that helped men tell time.  https://www.rookieparenting.com/make-a-sundial/
