The Beginning and the End.
How many times in the last 5-years have you said,
"I don't see this ending well."
"It can't possibly get any worse."
"I'll be glad when this year is over."
The world seems upside down and we feel more powerless and vulnerable than ever.
But God was before this and He is going to finish it. Everything is parenthetical to Him.
(Α + Ω) = God
I love math. It deals in answers you can prove and are always the same (at least that's what I thought until I took Abstract Algebra 😛). One plus one is always two.
(1 + 1) = 2
But when we add something outside the parenthetical, it alters what's inside:
2 (1 + 1) = 4
But God cannot be altered! He cannot be altered by weather, politics, war, famine, economics, despair, corruption, ... anything!
illness (Α + Ω) = God
war (Α + Ω) = God
despair (Α + Ω) = God
When we feel like we're at the end with no where to go, I think we've put ourselves outside the parenthetical. We need to remember we are nuzzled in the parentheses where we can look to one side and see the Alpha and look to the other and see the Omega.
This is our fortress!
