God, Time & Eternity

My friend, Joshua B, posted this quote on his facebook page.   I had to re-quote it here so I wouldn't lose it.  

"Time is the succession of thoughts in the mind of rational, created beings. God, being eternal, does not have a succession of thoughts, but rather His thoughts persist at once in their entirety, or put otherwise, they are immediate. God "interacts" with time insofar as every action of creation (including the succession of men's thoughts) is the result of God's thinking them so. Therefore time is an aspect of the created order and not an aspect of God's essential nature. Therefore time is subject to the will of God, and not God to the nature of time." (HT Aurelius Augustine, Gordon Clark)

 Thanks, Joshua, for posting this.  Beautiful.
