Alpha - Omega

The Holy Spirit moved over the chaos at creation and brought order, “The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.” Gen. 1:2 (ESV). In the same manner, the Holy Spirit brought order to God’s earthly creation, along with Jesus (Jn. 1:2-5). These two also worked in symphony to bring a pathway to complete salvation for the entire world. Paul reveals through the Holy Spirit, “For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?” – Rom. 8:22-24 (ESV). By depending on this hope, He can bring order to our struggling lives. When we are struggling with spiritual issues we may become spiritually dehydrated. These are the times we need to remember where to quench our spiritual thirst and strengthen our commitment. Disclosed in the last book of the bible, [God the Spirit] brought Jesus' words to [John]: “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment."  - Rev. 21:6 (ESV). As Christians, we need to trust the Holy Spirit to lead us along our unique individual spiritual journey to Jesus. As we do this, we acknowledge that we thirst for the presence of the Holy Spirit and request He refresh our lives to glorify God.
