40 Days of Prayer

The Alpha and Omega 

"And the one sitting on the throne said, "Look, I am making everything new!" And then he said to me, "Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true." And he also said, "It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega - the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life. All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children." Rev 21:5-7 NLT

"The beginning and the ending" refers to the eternity of the Son and His immutability. Concerning this, Hebrews 13:8 says, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever." When it says that He is the same, it does not mean that He is walking over yonder by the Sea of Galilee today. He is not. But it means that in His attributes He is the same. He has not changed. He is immutable. Since He is the beginning and the ending, He encompasses all time and eternity." Dr. J. Vernon McGee

The Alpha and the Omega. The first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. God is Alpha (Creator) and Omega (the One who ushers in the new heaven and new earth). He is Lord of all - past, present, and future. His sovereignty in creation guarantees the fulfillment of His purposes in re-creation (from the Reformation Bible). He is eternal and He exists outside of time from the beginning and at the end. He is the God who never changes because He is the One Who Is. The "I Am." We find peace in the sovereign working and guaranteed fulfillment of God's plan and we find joy in being a part of that plan and work. We find comfort in a God who is ever present and never changing and we find our thirst satisfied by the springs of living water that well up within us to eternal life. "All of this is for your benefit. And as God's grace reaches more and more people, there will be great thanksgiving, and God will receive more and more glory."2 Corinthians 4:15 NLT

Prayer: Pray for the glory of the Lord to be revealed through our ministry at the new location. Pray for God to show us ways to be a part of that work.
