Back to Basics

"In the beginning God..." - Genesis 1:1

I believe most of our problems could be solved using the first four words of the Bible!

Once we get the revelation that God is not only at the beginning of it all, but that He IS the beginning, we save ourselves the stress. In Rev. 1:8 Christ declares, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end..." God has been around before time because He does not exist within time. Time was created by Him for us. In fact, everything was created by Him and for Him - "For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions, principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him." - Col. 1:16.

My point today is simple. Sometimes we must go back to basics, back to the beginning in order to understand the present, and prepare for the future. God is in control! Always was! Always will be! I know it doesn't look like it when we consider the resident evil in our world , but we must understand that those who choose evil will one day face the judgement of God to pay the penalty - "but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness - indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil...for there is no partiality with God." - Romans 2:8-11.

My friends, God is at the beginning and the end of your problem. Release it to Him and resolve it in your heart that He's got it. Do what you can and let God do what you can't!

Be Blessed!
