“’I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, ‘who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.’”  (Revelation 1:8, NIV)

To know God is to know that our past, present, and future are all securely in His care.

Our God is the beginning.  There was nothing — and no one — preceding Him.

Our God is the end. . . without end.  No one — and no thing — follows Him.

Therefore, we need not continue to lament the things of the past for which we’ve repented.  What may be losses to us have the potential for redemption when abandoned to the eternal plan of God.  – Luther

“’I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, ‘who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.'” (Revelation 1:8, NIV)

As we begin another week, it is good to remember not only what others say about God, but what God says about God: “I am. . .”

As finite beings — whose existence is circumscribed by days, months, and years — our only security is in One who transcends both time and space; and exists with supreme potency: Omnipotence! To place our trust in anyone or anything else is to court disappointment.

God is worthy of our total trust because He always has been and always will be the supreme power. Let him be the bookend of every moment, day and month until we move from time to eternity. – Luther
