God Inside of Time

Was reading a book on open and relational theology recently and it mentioned the idea that God is inside time, which is how he relates and reacts to us. An interesting thought I hadn’t heard before, but unfortunately it didn’t really delve into defending that position. I’m looking for either any articles you know on this topic, or any arguments (either for or against) you know. Thanks for any help!

It is logically impossible for god to be inside the dimension of time, that's why I believe god can't really react to us as if he is "looking at us from above". BUT because god is all powerful within the creation, god may enter space-time and leave, the problem is I don't see any theological evidence or reasons god would do such a thing.
