As the New Year rang in many of us were looking forward to the New Year and change….a lot of change. We can be hopeful for the change in the world but as we know we cannot predict what is to come. Let’s be reminded to put our faith and trust in the one who is the Beginning and the End, who knows how the world’s story will end. Let’s rejoice in the comfort of our Lord who has compassion on his troubled children.
This devotion is from “Jesus Today” by Sarah Young. I hope this reminds you to rejoice every day.
I AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA, THE Beginning and the End, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. This planet you inhibit is in such a big mess that sometimes you feel overwhelmed. Just watching the news on television can make you anxious. World events seem to be spinning out of control more and more. This is why it’s so very important to focus on Me and consider who I am: the Beginning and the End. I – the Creator of this planet – transcend time. I know the end of this world’s story just as well as I know its beginning.
I not only know how everything will turn out, but I am absolutely Sovereign. I am the Almighty; nothing is beyond My control. The more helpless you feel as you face the challenges in your life, the more comforting it is to trust that I am all-powerful. Remember that I am also compassionate. I am the Lord who comforts His people and will have compassion on His afflicted ones. You can transcend your troubles because I am both powerful and compassionate. So you have good reason to rejoice; sometimes you may even burst into song!
Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; burst into song, O mountains! For the Lord comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones. –Isaiah 49:13
