Isa 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me
The Lord is the Alpha and the Omega- He knows everything about us from the beginning to the end. If we believe, know and understand who He really and truly is we will commit our lives from beginning to end to Him.
We need to come to grips with an understanding of the sovereignty of God. We have not chosen Him. He has chosen us to be and His faithful servants and credible witnesses of the fact that He is the be all and end all of life.
He encompasses the totality of our reality or to use the statistical terms -the universe of our existence. When we see how his Word operates in our universe to fulfill His plan and purpose, we know and understand that He is truly the Alpha and the Omega. Alpha and Omega are the first and the last letters in the Greek alphabet. When we acknowledge that everything begins and ends in Him or according to His sovereign will, the divine alphabet starting with the remaining letters will manifest in our lives: boldness, compassion, devotion, enthusiasm, faith, grace, hope, integrity, justice, kindness, love, mercy, nobility, optimism, peace, quality, rest, security, temperance, understanding, victory, wisdom, x or the unknown, the amazing, the miraculous dimension and yes to our prayers. It is interesting to note that the Hebrew for Jesus, “Yeshua” contains the word “yes” in it. Jesus is indeed the “Yes and Amen” to all God’s promises. It makes sense to begin and end all things in life by saying, "Lord Amen".
