Is God Your Beginning and End?

Revelation 21:6
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End".

Does the future ever seem scary to you?
The uncertainties of life - tomorrow ever get you down?
I know the feeling.
There are times now when I'm concerned about what is going to happen next.

I wasn't always like that though.
There were times when I just flew by the seat of my pants, not worrying
about what was around the next corner so to speak.
Procrastinating until my time was up and I HAD to do It!

But these last 18 months have opened my eyes to the reality of life.
How short life is and how precious it really is too.
The fear of not being able to spread the finances as far as they need to go, bills, food, fuel for
our cars and now the heat is coming and it is getting unbearably hot here in Texas.
I'm praying that God will show His mercy and help keep the heat down...a little bit any way.

I know I must keep trusting in Him though, no matter how rough it might get.
He has gotten us through some pretty tight and slim times so far.
I also know He has a perfect plan for us!

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, 
plans to give you hope and a future".  Jeremiah 29:11 

I believe this and cling to this daily my friend!  And you can too!
God always keeps His promises!

Did you know though that when God makes a promise there is always a response from us that He waits on?
Look with me at the above promise.
He tells us in Jeremiah 29:11 that He has this wonderful plan for our lives.
To prosper us and not to harm us.  A plan of hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:12-13 "Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me and I will listen to you.
You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.
There it is!   The response He's waiting for.

Father let us seek You with all of our heart!
Father I ask you to give us Your courage to live each day according to Your will.
Help us not to loose our focus of Your awesome face.
Father I ask You now to give us an opportunity to be a blessing to someone else that is in need right now.
Let us bring glory to Your wonderful name.
Help us to live a stronger and more courageous Christian life through this journey we are on.
Help us also not to miss a single blessing!

"Life is a journey that begins and ends with God"!
