Do You Know?

Revelation 1:8 - I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Do you like a mystery?  I do.  I love digging for answers.  The best part is when that answer is revealed and the understanding takes root.  Life is a bit like that.  Each day there is an opportunity to have something new revealed to you if you keep your eyes open.  It doesn't always have to be something monumental, but there is still that "ah-hah" moment when a question that might have been going through your mind is finally answered.  Another word for that is revelation.

Remember a time when you had to just know the answer to something?  How hard did you search for an answer?  Were you satisfied when you go the results?  Did it take a little off your mind to have better knowledge?  Was it like a puzzle that piece by piece came together to completion?

All throughout the Bible there are "ah-hah" moments...from Genesis to Revelation.  They are there for the reading.  But in the Bible the last book is Revelation and is a revelation of who Jesus Christ was and who He is and who He will be, from God the Creator of the past, the Savior of the present and the King of the future.  All that was written in the Old Testament points toward Him.  He was in the beginning and is right now and will be in the future.  He is the first and the last. Through Him all things were created and exist.  He IS the Alpha and Omega.

When we work at a job we glean information from someone with experience.  We tend to trust someone who has the knowledge about something.  I think I would much rather put my trust in someone who's been around awhile, been there, done that, who has the knowledge of past, present and revelations of the future.  The same goes for our God. He's our spiritual encyclopedia, the one who has all the answers.  Look to Him for the answers to the questions about your physical and spiritual life.

Romans 11:33-36 - Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out! "For who has known the mind of the LORD? Or who has become His counselor?" "Or who has first given to Him and it shall be repaid to him?" For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.

Father God, I thank You for the revelation knowledge You impart  to your children for their lives.  I thank You that there isn't anything You don't have an answer for and there isn't a person to whom You wouldn't love to impart Your knowledge.  I thank You that You give wisdom freely and that we can rest in assurance that what You have taught us is good and true.  I am thankful that this revelation never fades but is always timely.  What an awesome God You are.  I thank You that You reign eternal.  I thank You this knowledge is  as close to us as Your Word.  Amen.
