Dec 13 Alpha and Omega

"Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god" Isaiah 44:6

And he who sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." Also he said, "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true." And he said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. Revelation 22:13
Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet, and omega is the last letter of the alphabet. God is "the beginning and the end." Everything in-between is subject to Him!

I take great comfort in knowing that Jesus goes before us. He has been with the Father since the beginning and will be forevermore. 

For you shall not go out in haste,

and you shall not go in flight,

for the Lord will go before you,

and the God of Israel will be your rear guard. Isaiah 52:12

Jesus leads us into every situation, going before us to make firm ground, smooth out the wrinkles, making a way. He creates peace where there has been conflict. Ask Him to go before you and He will! 

He also is your rear guard, He brings resolution where there has been confusion, He protects us and brings closure. Ask Him to be your rear guard!
