The Beginning And The End

We long for continuity and stability in our uncertain and changing world. Today we can be grateful that we know the God of the beginning and the end who is also holding everything in between.   

In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded. But you remain the same, and your years will never end. Psalm 102:25-27

We’re grateful God, that You are there, have always been there, and will always be with us to help us transition into new beginnings and sustain us during difficult times so we can endure to the end 

For this God is our God forever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end. Psalm 48:14

We want to offer ourselves, our past, our present, and our unknown future to You once again today.  All that we are, all that we long to be, all that we wonder about, we hand it over to You. We surrender our lives into Your good care and keeping. 

Make of our lives exactly what You had in mind when You created us. Bring about Your plan and purposes for every day of our life.  We believe we’ll not live one day too short nor one day too long when we live inside Your plan and care. 

Give us faith and trust, comfort and hope no matter what we face. Fill us with Your love and Your grace today.  That is all we really need.  Amen

There’s a verse in the Bible that uses the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet as names for God – bookends. 

I am the Alpha and the Omega says the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.  Revelation 1:8

Let’s have a great day with the God was before the beginning of time, will be with us beyond time into eternity, and thankfully, is with us today in the in between.
