Topic: BACK TO GOD'S MODEL OF THE BEGINNING!
Memory Verse: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" - Genesis 1:1 NKJV
Bible Text: Revelation 1:8 NKJV
8. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
INSPIRATION: There can never be a better way to define hopelessness as much as having ideas but lacking where to start from. And whilst some are caught up in this inertia, they lose the vision, gets the idea muddled up and abandoned completely. Great ideas are to be worked on and reworked until they shine through; they're not to be shelved like souvenirs. But an idea never worked on soon becomes a piece of valueless antique in your museum.
God models a different pattern on what to do with an idea. He goes to work from the beginning. Never start a project from anywhere other than its beginning, else, it's aesthetics would be marred by structural defect. A good idea has a life of its own, starting from the beginning, with deliverable milestones that take you to the end. God is not called the "Beginning and the End" for nothing. It is so you can look at Him for an example and model your life to have great beginnings and greater endings.
TODAY'S TAKE HOME:
Anyone worth his onions must see beyond their many beginnings to envisaging greater and more glorious endings.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to follow through on the example You modelled for us in being the Beginning and the End. I receive grace to see every of my project to its logical and beautiful ending rather than abandoned unfinished, in Jesus name.
