Give Me an A

The best solution to plugging up the holes in our buckets, mentioned in last week’s post, is by focusing on what is true. When we contemplate God’s character, our insecurities, fears, and anger dissipate. To shift our focus from what causes leaks in our faith, we’ll spend three weeks looking at God’s attributes. Today, “Give me an A!”

• Alpha. God is the Beginning. He was present before there was a world or a single life. He is not only before all things, but He holds all things together and all things exist for Him. He holds us together and He gives us purpose. Our life, physically and spiritually, begins with Him. We refer to Alpha people as top dogs, leaders—Jesus is the only true Alpha.
• All. God is All—all we need because He is all-sufficient, all-knowing, all-mighty. There is no need He cannot meet, no problem He cannot solve, no situation He cannot unscramble. He knows the end from the beginning and understands times and seasons.  He is strong enough, wise enough, and caring enough. He is All.
• Able. He has the strength, the authority, the power. He created the world with a word and has legions of angels at His call. His wisdom guides His ability and His love curtails His actions. There is nothing beyond His reach. He is Able.

When we keep these truths foremost, our lives remain whole and strong. No leaks!
