The Names of God - Alpha and Omega

Alpha and Omega
Revelation 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, just as A and Z are the first and last in the English one. As Alpha, our Lord is the Source, the Beginning of all revealed truth, of all promise given, and of all testimony committed to men. This title speaks of the intimate relationship God has to Creation. As Omega, He is also our End, with His glory as our goal. " Man's chief end is to glorify Him, and to enjoy Him forever". Everything in life finds its answer in Him who is "the first and the last."

Lord Jesus, thank you that you are everything from A to Z in my life. In you I shall have no lacks. When it comes to my desires, plans, and ambitions help me to remember to commit them to you. Because you are the First and the Last, all things are under your control. When I do that I know I will have favors from you and peace in my heart.
