The True Know-It-All

I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

Revelation 22:13 (CEV)

If you really want to learn something, the best person to teach you is the inventor and creator of that thing. Your grandmother could teach you how to make her secret recipe for the best chocolate chip cookies. Your gym teacher could teach you how to play that cool ball game he created. And your dad could teach you how to climb the ladder he built in the backyard.

Who is best to go to when you have hard questions about life? The inventor and creator of life—God! He is the beginning and the end. He designed every process in nature, from the earth’s rotation to the sun’s heat. He made every cell in your body and told them how to work together to make you think and breathe. He knows every answer to every single question!

Things in this world can seem out of control and leave your head spinning, looking for anything to hold onto or belong to. How about grabbing a hold of the hand that created you?

God is reaching out, asking you to turn to him. He holds your life in his hands. So believe in God, trust him, obey him, and love him. He will bring you safely through all the crazy changes of this life!

SPIRITUAL FITNESS TRAINING

What do you think life will be like 100 years from now? In a journal or on some paper, draw or write what these things might be, like phones, computers, clothes, schools, and food. Then spend some time thinking about the God who will be here through it all!

PRAY

Lord, you are Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. Help me trust in your eternal knowledge and wisdom.
