In Revelation 1:8, our Lord Jesus Christ reveals Himself as the Alpha and the Omega. Later on in Revelation 21:6, He describes Himself as the Beginning and the End. For further emphasis, in Revelation 22:13, He said, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” This means that everything starts and ends with Him. From the scriptures above, you will clearly see that you cannot start anything without God’s permission, and you cannot finish anything without His approval. This is good news for you, especially if you are about to embark on a project. Just talk to the Alpha and Omega about it. God is the One who began this world, and He is the One who will end it.
In other words, everything in this world is under His control; therefore, when you are close to Him and let Him guide you throughout your life, you will have a better quality of life because the One in control is your guide. This is why Proverbs 3:5 says: Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. God knows what will happen before it happens. He knows where there is danger and where your blessings are hiding. He said in Isaiah 45:3 that He will show you the treasures of darkness and the hidden riches in secret places. He knows these things because He is the Beginning and the End.
This is why David wrote confidently: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters” in Psalm 23:1-2. If I may ask, who is your shepherd? Who guides you through life? For me, I know that I will never have to go through life on my own, and this is why I have made the Beginning and the End my shepherd. Those who let Him guide their decisions never regret it.
