When facing a new beginning, we have no idea what the end will look like. We can dream of what we hope it becomes. We can plan and set goals toward what we deem an attainable end.
However, unexpected things will happen along the way. We are not in control. Change is a constant. And interruptions are always possible.
Yet, God is not surprised by any of these detours. For Him, they are not detours.
God is the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End (Rev. 22:13). He goes before us, behind us, and surrounds us (Ps. 125:2).
God is the source of life and the conqueror of death (1 Cor. 15:55). He is the Root and the Offspring of David (Rev. 22:16).
He who was and is and is to come, the eternal, cannot be caught off guard.
The Alpha and the Omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. I AM is the Author of everything.
The First and the Last imply there is an order to things. I AM is in control of everything.
The Beginning and the End illustrate a timeframe. I AM, Creator, knows when and how everything will happen.
What a comfort to believe in The I AM! Are you trusting The I AM with your new beginning?
